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 Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

My high school experience was definitely interesting, moving from one environment to a different one could be challenging but I manage. I am definitely learning a lot in my classes and would love to go further in my education and I believe that my school has the resources and the classes to advance more in what I want to do in the future.
