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.

There are some great teachers here. If you get a goof teacher, the school year will be great. But there are some who sit on their computer all day and just hand out printouts, and refuse to communicate with the parents. My biggest issue is that, when these issues are brought up to the principal, nothing is done. Also, the principal doesn't really like parents involvement. She will not let you request which teachers you want your kids to have. Overall, a pretty good school. The kids are good.
