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 had a pretty average high school experience here. Some of the teachers are very nice and explain things very well and are willing to help students. Others, not so much. Overall I would say it's average.

I like the teachers at my school. I have only had one teacher I did not like. They are all nice and want to see their students succeed. I am not a big fan of the students I am surrounded by, but that is by no fault of the school. I also appreciate the broad range of extracurricular activities and elective courses the school offers. Many interests are represented. Overall I have enjoyed my high school experience thus far, and while I will miss it, I feel the staff has done its best to prepare me for my future endeavors.
