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.

We moved from a smaller town so my son could specifically attend this high school. After doing a lot of research prior to the move this school has not disappointed in any way. The academics have been above par. The opportunities with sports and outside events have been more than acceptable and the moral compass of this school is what we were looking for as parents.

I would highly recommend NOT letting your children go to this school. While there are a few good teachers, the amount of incompetent ones is much greater. The school is also very overboard on uniforms and rules. Simply forgetting to wear a belt (boys) for one day results in an after school detention...
