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.

This school really treated me well. Most of the staff and teachers were really nice and genuine people but there were always the occasional few that shouldn't be teachers. Sometimes it was hard to reach counselors but once you did they were super nice and you can tell they care. The campus is pretty clean but the students are a little judgy and mean but again you can find that at any school.
