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 is a great High school, I wish the school had more counselors to advice or navigate the students with the college process. It's less guidance where that is concern, so most students decided not to apply to colleges.

Their focus on STEM is extraordinary and they ensure all of their students are prepared for college. They also offer great programs that help prepare you for future careers and colleges like SEO Scholars, Sophie Davis, and College Now.

I like that they have AP classes that can allow me to not pay for any of them in college. I will like to see more activities for us to do as a school
