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 was fortunate enough to have to guidance provided to me to graduate early. I will still have the opportunity to walk the stage at graduation. All staff members wanted to ensure a successful future for you. One of the worst parts about my experience at Community High School was the violence that appeared from time to time.

Me and my peers were really disengaged and felt like learning was boring, except for a few exceptions of people. I like the cafeteria and th...
