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.

This is the most incompetent school I have ever sent my child too. Melinda Foster is rude and nasty . Rochelle can't keep her staff professional if it saved her life. Don't send your child to this school if you have any care for your child's future.

This school is horrible. The teachers are subpar and there are constant fights. So many fights that they had to close down the bathrooms which makes it so you cannot use it when it’s not transition time. Overall this school does a poor job at teaching with its tests scores reflecting that.
