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.

My kid spent 3 years in this school. Always felt supported and felt like she was being listened to. She did share sometimes that there were issues, but that’s not the schools fault in her eyes, it was kids not knowing how to be nice, which falls back on how they are raised. I remember her telling me...

The teacher seem to hate the kids, and do not effectively teach their lessons. So much discrimination and bullying happen in the school the fights are out of control!
