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.

I have a lot of pride in my school because it is the place where I have spent every day of the last few years. But, there are quite a few places where I believe that my school needs work. The bathrooms and water fountains aren't the most well kept, and are often broken. The security is very lenient with allowing people to enter and exit the building, and the staff aren't always the most fit for their roles. I do still take pride in my school and believe it is a great place to learn, but there are always ways that they could improve.

I feel like this is a great environment to connect with others and create long lasting relationships. Most of the staff are caring and flexible when it comes the work and they are able to provide us with enough resources to be successful in preparing for our future careers.

The lunch is menu is all fake. They say its 4 star Mac and cheese when actually tastes like under cooked noodles dipped in watery, flavorless, fake yellow stuff that comes from the fake leftovers from 1 star restaurants. PS. The whole lunch menu is a lie parents, don't believe your precious children...
