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 best experience was lunchtime when I was a senior, and I was able to leave the school during lunch and go out to eat. My worst experiences were when I played volleyball and we didn't have a real gym or much space to practice.

It is a nice school, it brings the best out of kids. I would advise parents to send their children to this school.
