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.

The school does not necessarily do a great job of preparing students for college. It also doesn't offer adequate aid to students who aren't sure if college is the path for them.

I honestly enjoy the small community, inclusiveness, diversity, and overall the staff. They are always available for office hours.

This school is amazing. The teachers and staff really genuienly care for the well being of the children. They work so well with the students and strive to make sure your child reaches their educational potential. If your child need extra help, they have no problem putting in the extra hours to do so...
