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.

They put ELA and social studies together and social studies and ELA do not blend together and I feel like they are doing this on purpose to confuse people. And the teachers give lots of homework and there is this one 7th grade science teacher that showed everyone's grades but mine and one time the teacher asked if they feel comfortable showing there grades to everyone. And my science gives lots of work and quizzes and my teacher uses this app called kami its the worst app ever one time I was moving my text box and it went over a word. And I have this math teacher who does math confusing and does the problem wrong . When I was in 6th grade I had this strict PE teacher who gave lots of work. You do not want to go to this school this school is not good at all there school system is bad. They also do things that they are not supposed to do like give us a lot of homework its like being in high school.

I am not understanding how anyone could rate this school higher than a one star. This is a school that allows bullying, the bad kids are the teacher's favorite, and some teachers participate in bullying. The stories my son told me outraged me. Even though my kid was not the one being bullied, I felt...
