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.

The best thing that has happened to me since being there were some of the teachers I had and when my counselor talked to me about my schedule. I had how unorganized they are, lack of good teachers that are willing to actually teach and help kids understand.

My daughter attended this school and graduated in 2015. She was special needs and Miss Tuff was her teacher. The best teacher in the world. From the custodial and cafeteria staff all the way to the administration; they really nurtured my daughter.
