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.

Most of the teachers in the school are very bad and in my opinion, don't know how to teach. Our sports are ok but the only good things happen after school. All the clubs are for very specific people and don't correspond to every one. Last year when the school had "houses" one house got to go to a water park when the rest didn't. Also the foods are not very good and aren't that healthy, they have a nacho/burrito bar every day.
