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.

Our school is safe in a way, but also not that safe. We do not have a school nurse, and everyone is so busy that if you need to talk to someone about something there is usually no one to talk to. We do have video cameras in the school but they are not always on, you also have to be buzzed in so no one outside can get in which is good. There is nothing to stop or prevent bullying, or no one to watch for safety of the kids usually.
