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.

Amazing school with absolutely phenomenal teachers. There was a huge variety of clubs. The school culture is like what a private school feels like. However, they are very helpful and there are lots of very friendly people.

The school is great! Alot of the school is mainly ruled by the popular kids, and some teachers neglect high scoring students, and love/ give special attention to the more popular kids. Mainly there is discrimination against the LGBTQ+ kids.

It is an okay school, they are kids called popular rich kids and they over rule the school. Teacher show a lot of favoritism and like only certain kids. Only some teachers are okay.
