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.

Overall, I am glad I attended this school and it will always be my first choice over other school in the same district.

My high School experience has been an experience Covid my 9th and 10th Grade year was much different trying to get back into school and playing sports and keeping your grades up was a must, meeting new people and teachers and connecting with them, joining a club or two and volunteering for my community.
4.0 Senior

Great communities such as sports teams and choir groups. Made a lot of great memories to look back on during my senior year. Staff doesn't always listen to the students about legitimate concerns until the principle is brought into it and teachers are unnecessarily rude in the halls.
