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 is one of best middle schools I’ve ever experienced as a teacher. The principal Ms Okpo has fostered a wonderful and nurturing educational environment. She constantly inspires her students to learn and aspire for greatness coupled with doses of tough love.
