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.

The school is nice at first. The teachers are really good it's just how the students interact with each other. It needs to be a healthier environment for everyone. they need to punish the kids that do the terrible stuff instead of everyone.

It's kinda bad to go to unless you're in one of the specialties programs like IB or CFA, mainly due to the lack of caring from many students outside of these programs.

It's a great school to be at if you want to improve your studies and the people you meet there are nice and kind and the teachers. The only I would like to see change is the food cause it's disgusting they said you eat too focus better but the food is either raw or half done and this causes food poisoning I want some healthy food so I don't have to wait to go home and eat.

I’m a freshman (class of 26), and it hasn’t even been a week and I love this school. The teachers have helped me adjust to the new environment.

The bullying is pretty good dealt with, but hoo boy are some of the kids here BAD. They really do not care, and the teachers at this point are jaded to the point where they don't really want to do anything. They're kind of lazy and some are really unorganized and lose student's papers ALL the time.....
