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.

hello, i would say this is a pretty nice school. the staff aren't the best. but overall it's not too bad. i think I've learned a lot while having some experience stepping in this school. the staff don't get treated to well, especially the custodians , they never have a smile, and the food is meh. i think The pizzas great, but overall i give It a "ok" review. thanks for reading. thanks for ur time.now get better staff.

All faculty cared for students safety, as if we were all there kids. Minor incidents were handled as if they were major, and they spoke with the student body to make sure they know the consequences that come with each incident. There were posters in each hallway, and teachers were always welcoming students to speak to them about any issues that they had in or out of the school.

My kids are always excited to go to school, and they tell me how great their specials are. However, it seems like their expectations are much higher than the actual quality of teaching. It seems when I go over assignments with them, they have no idea how to do anything. They mention it was gone over...
