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 would like to see more parent involvement fostered by better communication. Many times I would not find out about school events in time to come.

The school is great in a sense but pretty terrible. It's to strict on rules and add more ridiculous rules on top of them, they make sure the kids are bored during break and have too many restrictions on their devices. Food is terrible as the pizza tastes like dough, so I don't eat there and stay in the library.
