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 can't wait to be done with this school. One of the only good things going for them is Ms Ball. There's a few good staff that actually want the best for the students but for the most part they are just there cuz it's their job. Other than that, OH WELL. NO CONTROL over those kids
