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.

It was overall a good experience because I surrounded myself with good people. But if you get with the wrong crowd I feel like it was over for you because they would always associate you with those people.

I've been at this school since my freshman year. It's been an unforgettable experience with ups and downs. The school administration is beginning to improve and I'm happy to see this school slowly getting back on it's paces. With bright teachers and an education anyone can work with, it's an good backup school for anyone looking for a school based on art and technology programs.

I really like the teachers in this school, but it seems the administration or the school itself is poorly supported/funded. Theres not enough mental health support services, lunches have little nutrition value, and theres no true school culture. Overall, students may find lots of hurdles getting by or not enough hurdles, as to engage in a much stronger learning experience.

My son was systematically bullied and while I worked as hard as I could with the system all I got was apathy. After the latest bullying incident (actually two in one day),...

I'm very, VERY disappointed in this school. I'm a hard working student. So far, I really don't like this school. I agree on that fact that the low standards of this school lowers your self esteem if you a really smart student. I'm one of those students. I only applied because I thought this school w...
