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.

Last year all the rehearsals during school cut into his homework and study time....

I am a student here, and I am in 8th grade. It is an amazing school, with great staff and a great music program, which is really important to me. Students are eager and excited to learn, and come to school in a great attitude.
