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.

The food is terrible. My macaroni is grey, and it's horrible. One of my teachers has said, "oh my gosh, I hate my job; why did I decide to become a teacher I hate this." This isn't the attitude a teacher should have. Now not all of the teachers are like this; some are fantastic and love their jobs like Mr. Jacobs.

this school is absolutely wonderful. I wish I was there for longer :( one con is that homework is VERY stressed upon, and sometimes its even counted as a grade. one pro is that all of the teachers and staff are very caring and always want to hear your opinion.

We did not know about "special permission" or we would have applied sooner. The teachers are all very organized and go above and beyond to hel...
