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.

Despite the growing pains, my child has flourished here. The teachers and staff are like family; they are approachable, available and they really care. I love that the staff seem to know all of the children's names, not just the kids in their classes. This isn't the case in the average county middle and high school.

The school is a very nice school, but it could have had a better transition to the new school, and it could have better communication. However, the education and teachers are very good.
I've been going here for almost 4 years, and when I tell u its probably one of the worst environments i've been in.
