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.

Great school with caring staff and dedicated administration. Plenty of clubs and afterschool activities to choose from, too.

I am a 9th grader, who graduated from this school last year. I would say that the administrators do not care about you or your child's safety. They care about how the school is presented and uses the students for personal gain. There were few teacher who were committed to their job and cared for the students. Lastly, the school uses its money for painting the interior instead of using it to improve the education for students. Very sad

Amazing experience! Administration does an excellent job with keeping the kids engaged with academics, parents informed on events and encouraging all to participate in sports.

Feel like being lost all the time and not having an idea of what is going on with your children’s school? Then this is the school for you. No one responds to you if you reach out- not teachers, administrators, or counselors. They are not welcoming at all and the PTSA doesn’t help that feeling either...

Felt teachers where great at communication with parents. They kept my child engaged and interested. Hoping next year 7th grade teachers do the same.
