3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am currently a student at this HIGH SCHOOL and it made a complete turn around. We don't have the BEST teachers, but we have teachers that are willing to get out of bed in the morning to teach us because they care! Ms. Eberle is the best principal anyone could ask for. She is there when we need her, even if we don't need her, she is still there. Don't be afraid to send your student there because it's not a bad school, we as students give this school a reputation and we should do better with respecting OUR home.Other Review9y ago - Harrington Avery D School
