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.

Academic credit for this school is non-transferrable to other schools. Some teachers teach based on their opinion rather than actual facts. The teachers don't let students express their concerns saying that this school is "safe space." This school does have somewhat good academics and teachers but if you want a better school honestly go elsewhere.
