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 rated this school low because of the staff. There are about 4 teachers that are good but the rest are horrible! The staff pick their favorite students and treat the other children in a disgusting manner. The food is horrible and the school is filthy. My daughter is always sick because they do not sanitize anything.
