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.

Terrible. Students are not allowed to eat their lunch in a timely manner. No cell phone policy. Teachers are rude to the children. Gym always dirty. Restrooms are always dirty. The students doesn't get to go to the restroom but once a day or week. My kids are unhappy here.
