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.

I really like how they continually encourage the students to be college-ready. They track the students' academic progress and provide support when needed.

So it's not a bad school like honestly. If people have bad experiences it's because of like social type of things (friends, rumors, gossip, etc) but that can be avoided. Other than that, it's a nice school. The small environment really deadass let's you connect with the staff and that's the best thing really.
