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 faculty doesn't protect there students from harassment. They have teachers who bully the students and faculty who backs them up 100% because of the years they have been teaching. Faculty lies about calling the parents to the district when something has ben reported or brought up to there attention. Children are questioned and interviewed without the perent present on ever even notified of the situation

This school has a big problem with favoritism from the teachers and staff. They disregard what certain students are doing to others. They make absurd excuses for them. My child was bullied by one if their favorites the entire time she was there. I do not recommend this school.
