GreatSchools Summary Rating

Test Scores Academic Progress below average College Readiness below average Last updated: Jun 06, 2024 ADVERTISEMENT

Academic Progress

Students at this school are making less academic progress from one grade to the next compared to students at other schools in the state.

College Readiness

This school is about the same as the state average in key measures of college and career readiness, but depending on the state, average can mean only a minority of students are ready for college and career.

(Remember: high graduation rates don't mean much if students are graduating without the coursework and test scores they need to succeed.)

Parent Tip The best high schools offer advanced courses to all students, not a select few.

College Success

Parent Tip

Students who are unprepared for college-level work may find themselves in costly remedial classes and are more likely to drop out of college. Successful high schools help kids find their passions and succeed after graduation.

Advanced Courses

Parent Tip

Many successful high school students end up in remedial math courses in college. Is your student prepared for college-level math? Ask this school how they ensure students are well-prepared.

Test Scores

Test scores at this school are about the same as the state average, though still below the top-performing schools in the state. Because test scores in some states are so low, many students at this school may not be performing at grade level.

Parent Tip

Ask the school what it’s doing to help students who are behind. Understand what on-track learning looks like, and ask the school what it’s doing to accelerate progress for students.
