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.

I would give this school a zero if I could. I called one of the nurses to let them know that someone in their school had lice because my child noticed it... the nurse got nasty with me and told me that the parents at the school are VERY open with her and that I need to take MY daughter to the doctor...
