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.

The creative classes like art and music had teachers who were very passionate and skilled at their craft. Many of the extracurricular activities also gave many opportunities to learn something new and make friends. Some other teachers did not have that same passion, which definitely hampered the experience.

There was a lot going on really, some not in the best sense, sometimes too loose to sometimes too strict rules, made good friends but also lost few along the way due to them transferring out as all the good teachers too left due to them not getting good contracts, so I would say it was chaotic 4 years especially with the start of COVID in the freshman year, but I'll take all memories with me till the end.

Well since there's a new principal everything sort of changed , it's more stricter than before and it feels like it's going downhill. It was more fun with the old principal because he actually talked to us and interacted with us, no one really does that , and I hope they start changing the bathroom rules and actually do changes they've been saying since forever now. The teachers are nice but a few I don't like.

I had a good experience at this school, though that was over 25 years ago. I was in mostly honors classes so I can not speak for the experiences of those in mid to lower level classes. I turned out fine, but can't say for sure whether or not I would've turned out better had I attended a "higher" ran...

The inmates are running the asylum. Students are out of control. Fights prevail. The teachers collect a salary and hope to move on to a better school.
