GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Felt very unsafe, me and my peers were ridiculed and pushed around because we are white. Not many clubs and sport opportunities, but very good language program, especially German. Has math, social studies, German, and culture class, all in the German language. I did learn a lot during my times here, as well as how to deal with difficult people.

It was honestly a safe environment, the teachers were great, the students were easy to talk to and there was always a way to have a good time while having a great education there. It was a struggle at first because of the pandemic but now I found my way back and will be graduating next week
