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'm currently at this school, and while i've had some problems while at it, they were because of me and not the school itself. honestly, the school isn't terrible. there are some problems with the school but i've had a fun time there. the teachers are nice, and no one is really mean/a bully (not that i know of at least.) my peers here can be really annoying and disrespectful sometimes, but not super often. i wish the way we're taught things would change, because i feel like i'm not retaining information well. but, it's a pretty good school for a middle school.
