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 school tends to be extremely harsh within the difference of social groups. Often times bullying happens and facility members dont do everything they are able to. Although the best part about this school is the fact that you are able to think freely and are able to explore multiple options

While its very diverse and the teachers are very supportive... we're a very poor school and so there's not alot of opportunity or financial support.
