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.

There are many opportunities for students to have fun and exercise. We have Zumba nights with the crew team where everyone is invited. Throughout the week when you have gym in your schedule we have what's called, " Work out Wednesdays". Nice activity, gives everyone a pretty fit and fun work out.

There are minor flaws such as the cafe not making enough food for the last period of lunch although they do make alternative foods that supply the students daily lunch intake.

Resources such as a library and computers are available for the students. They are able to go to the library during their lunch period if they need to do research or school projects. Technology is pretty high on a 1-10 scale of how much we use it. We do not have a lot of technology, but what we do have, we make the best of.
