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.

The school has potential but the teachers make it bad. Not all teachers... there are a few good ones that actually take the time to get to know the students. The rest are bullies to the children and behave like children by having clicks and alienate some of their peers. Most of them are lazy and prejudice and will cause Psychological harm to the children because of their lack of concern and unbalanced punishments. They encourage the bullies and punish the bullied. This school will go down the drain if there is no intervention by the superintendent.

Student engagement is a flaw at this school many people hate learning as the topics are barely enough to keep you awake. The STEM program is quite lazy and their use of AI and computer learning suffers as a result. The band program is good as it has some of the best teachers, however the difference...

I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!! First off all some old heavier set man named Jerry Richardson had only talked about the absurd thuggish activities he has “participated/been through.” I speak for me and a my peers and the future bright souls. WE DO NOT WANT TO HEAR THAT NONSENSE. NOR DO WE WANT TO HAVE TO LISTEN...
