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.

The staff is very welcoming and understanding. I hope to see some changes with the female bathrooms as there are no feminine products in stock in any of the bathrooms.

The diversity and community of the school is excellent. There is a lack of sports, as well as financial and parent involvement.
