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.

I moved to Amherst from another state and took one year of school here a few years ago. I can say without a doubt this was the worst school I've ever been to, and I've moved a lot. The students are racist and homophobic and no one in the administration cares enough to do anything about it and uses "...

We would like to thank all the teachers for the hard work and individual attention for students that need support - such as our kid. The administration can be more respondive and perform better especially at the begining of the school year. But teachers are just great.

They are racist, homophobic and in general not a good environment to be in. They don’t listen to problems and call parents every 1 to 2 school days. The food does taste real and I don’t think it’s real. It feel like I’m in jail. I would not recommend coming to this school.
