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.

Increasingly raising expectations for academics, college/post-secondary preparation, and music and the arts. I like the new leadership of the school and have been impressed by the athletics and co-curricular experiences. Not many high schools doing a better job of supporting student well being and pushing academic achievement.

Great support system from teachers who want you to succeed. Also many opportunities to get a head start on college by taking Dual Enrollment or AP classes. Studying abroad was by far the best experience they provided me with through the foreign languages department.

I loved the programs in this school. I spent a lot of my time in the music program. It was great to have a close relationship with my teachers.

For the most part, teachers are incredible. The administration leaves much to be desired. They care way more about test scores than they do individual students. I would never send my child to this school, so glad we moved out of the district.
