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.

My experience has been good overall. I would like for administrators to not be as hard on students when they are trying to prioritize their academics. But, I have had mostly all great teachers that have helped me all throughout high school. My extracurricular sponsors/coaches have always been great and very supportive of what the whole group needs.

The best part of my experience is being on the tennis team. Everyone is nice and support each other. I really enjoy playing and hanging out with teammates. The worst part of my experience is that funding for some programs is not very good. For example, HOSA is not as funded as DECA or FBLA which is unfair.

Considering that I have a son with ADHD and he has an Individualized Education Program - I do not see the type assistance that I have seen in other schools nor have I experienced an active roll in teacher/parent communication that...
