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 love the enthusiasm and preparation they offered. It was fun going daily and i miss it. The friendships with everyone and everyone helping each other. You were allowed to be yourself and were encouraged to spread your wings and fly.

It is a great school system in a whole. The teachers care and do their best to teach each student. Teachers also motivate their students to work hard to reach their goals.
