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.

Currently in this school and hate it. Most teachers were terrible, but work was very easy for the most part. A lot of fights and tons of drama with the girls. I'm still in 8th grade for this school, and I'll be very excited to finally transfer and go into high school. I don't recommend this school and I do not think this will be a safe school for children at this school. Just my experience at this school though.
