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 think the school is good overall but I think there could definitely be some improvements with the teachers. I feel like they should reach out to their students more often when they might be struggling.

There were a lot of fights in the halls, lots of racism and nothing done about it. Yet there were a lot of great people and great aura.
