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.

Great staff, some good teachers, and the students were fine. The lunch is very lackluster, limited after-school activities (no band, drama, debate club, and etc.). The school's location can cause some issues, which causes many students to depend on the school buses.
