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.

HI, i'm a student from this school and for me i like this school because you learn lots of stuff and the teachers are so kind. When you're in 4th, 6th grades you'd take a test that would give you the opportunity to go to City Honors . In 8th grade the school also asks you which high schools you want to go to and they would let you pick 5 high schools and you'd take a test and they can accept you to go there in 9th grade, basically the school would prepare a high school for you. I would recommend you go to this school because they teach you about safety drills, they also prepare you for your next grade .
