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 certainly a lot of things with this school and overall it is not bad. I have heard interesting stories from other schools so I'd like to say we are safe. Sure, the food isn't the best but what school lunch is? I personally have been involved in the music and art classes and it is nice. We also got some new teachers and they are doing a great job. Although, some teachers just don't teach properly but oh well.

The school does not enforce anti-bullying policies. I had to obtain a restraining order on behalf of my daughter
