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.

Hi I am a really student here so I guess its time I should say somethings about the place ya. A lot of drama is always going down they made new rules but its not like were gonna not get into a huge disagreement like who they trying to fool. If I were a Christian (or any other person/reglion person that doesn't want there kids cursing) parent I would not let my kid go here things won't calm down not as long as all things can just go back to what the school call . I really only like going here cause I made some good friends I won't talk about them so they don't get in trouble for some dumb reason. Ya I been here for a while by the way I hope that whoever reads this thinks about what there going to rethink about their kid/or self going here. -Sincerely A kid from this school... P.S.- There was a huge fight here...
