I think the rating should be higher. I don’t believe racial makeup should be counted. It should be denoted but no one can make people of a certain ethnicity move into a school district due to redlining and other factors that are not considered in Great Schools data. When you look at the ability to succeed and improvement from one year to next and keeping class size small these are features that matter. This school should have a rating of at least 7/10 or higher.

VERY POOR! They have shown me that certain students are not punished for inappropriate behavior. This affects the student being hit or bullied.

The Math and English departments were disappointing during my time there. Teachers often focused more on building friendships with students rather than prioritizing vital learning, which left many of us unprepared. Administration seemed to prioritize students who skipped frequently and the so-called “good” kids, while those who fell in the middle often went overlooked. Around 75% of the time, I either had nothing to do or was listening to teachers talk about their hobbies instead of teaching.On a positive note, Counselor Nix was impeccable and always supportive. I didn’t interact much with the other counselors, so I can’t give reviews on them. Overall, if you can, I’d recommend you send your child to a school that can actually teach your child proper study methods. Alum ‘24
