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 best experience I had at the high school was when I first joined the sport, i played tennis as sense I first joined the high school and the investment is such a comforting place. the worst thing I have ever experienced there is the food the price of high school food should change and not be so expensive.

I love my school. I think most teachers are helpful and caring and most of the administrators as well. Most of our academics, clubs, and sports are fun and have knowledgeable adults to help.
