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.

This is an awful school. Faculty and administration are awful and students learn next to nothing. Students go on to the high school, vape, and do a lot of drugs. Besides a superficial mandatory "advisory" there is absolutely zero support system. The food is disgusting and although there is diversity, there are too many restricted groups and overwhelming drama.

I feel like the school doesn't do enough about people being bullied or racist slurs or swears, so many people are racist and the school doesn't care. The teachers also don't try to make it enjoyable or fun. Would not recommend this school.
