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's a decent school better than it was back in my sophomore year since that's when we actually went back to school. I'm assuming this us because all the covid commotion and back up finally calmed down. The kids here are something else sometimes a whole lot of kids with big egos and it's gets the best of them and they are just mean. But then there is the other half of kids who want to go to college and live their like in their bubble with their group of friends and their goals to go to college or military. High school for me personally has not been to hard the only hard thing really is the college classes since it's that little bit more of a struggle but I have my people who help me get through these struggle and really cool teachers that I can talk to. Not the best school and not the most perfect but it is a second home I can go to and a safe place when no where does feel safe.
