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.

I had a great experience as a middle schooler here. The principal when I was there was not a great leader, but the teachers here are awesome and make learning enjoyable. Since I have left, there have been several incidences of bullying and the administration has done a very poor job in handling the situation. Parents went to the media before administration did their jobs.

The curriculum is pointless and will never be useful in the real world. There is no discipline or action...
