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.

Very diverse campus. Lots of ROP (regional occupation program), PLYW (project lead the way), and AP classes to choose from. Teachers prepare you well for the AP exam. Breakfast and Lunch are free and lots of options to choose from. New engineering building built recently.
