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.

It is a good school in the terms of programs and it's academies with college credit classes for students and their current interest in a major. And although I hope to see this school flourish especially with the health sciences academy they need more time and rffort to reach what they envision for us students. But like any school we have problems with fights, bullying, and drug abuse.

Some thing about my school is that they lack more employers around the school like teaches or monitors. They also lack a cleaner place and supplies for certain subjects like art. Something great bout the school is that they encourage you to do college course classes and to join sports. ID like to see our school culture and apperane change for a much more brightening effect on us all.
