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.

My overall experience has been great, I have made the best memories and I don't think it would be possible if I went to any other school. My best experience would be by far the fine arts department they have many opportunities for everyone's different talents like dance, music, and theatre. Everyone has the chance to be involved in things they enjoy doing. I haven't had any bad parts of my experience in my high school.
