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 really like the environment of the school. Everyone is always helpful. I think they need some up keep in bathrooms and classrooms

To me the school needs to be more involved with their students. Most kids are getting bullied about the smallest things and the won't do anything about it.
