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.

Over the last years Ive had about five good teachers. Most of them teach an AP course. In addition my school never had funding for anything. As a result the baseball team couldn't play this year.

This high school overall had great aspects within the learning environment. Staff members made sure students felt comfortable and tried their best to make us achieve our goals. Whether it was finishing school or getting our grades up, teachers made it their mission for us to complete it.

Prior to covid there were issues at the school where I have expressed my concerns as a parent, and my child as a student and both have gone unanswered. It has been a mess through covid, failing to get better even with different staff. There are no sports or after school programs offered so students can explore what they might like in extra curricular activities. This school is funded and based off contracts and survives from parents. They do not care what the parents say or how the kids feel.
