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 teachers are very helpful and nice. If you ever need help you can always go during lunch, before school or after school to get help. As long as you talk to teachers they are willing to help and support you.

It has a big facility. A diversity of students and some welcoming teachers. Teachers get along with students. Not many sports the gym and auditorium are together. Some main science subject are gone such as chemistry. Not much about college readiness.few fights break out. There is a good amount of security through out the building. Some students are falling behind. Students may take online classes. Not many clubs in this school

This school is great. There are a handful of kids who need to get kicked out, but other than the that the school is fine. There are many clubs you can join, teachers give you one-on-one attention.
