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 school is okay they have fun things like field day and stuff but the downside is a lot of fights happen at this school it doesn't even have to be in the hallway some kids legit fight in the classroom or the bathroom stalls, the subs don't teach the material they're supposed to when a teacher is out sick and a girl committed recently that I was very close with, they have amazing staff there to help if ur feeling that way but I felt like they could have done more.

I want to go to school to learn and have fun, but I also want to feel safe. I don't feel safe here and I don't know what goes on here but I've witnessed vaping, alcohol use, and lots of fights. People are rude here and teachers do absolutely nothing about bullying. But what can you expect from a public school? I would recommend trying to find a cheap private school because public school sucks.

This school is the worst. I do not recommend it. A lot of people die in the school. Teacher sucks. There’s bullies in the school. It’s the worst school possible.

It is a good school and most of the teachers are nice, but the dress code is strict and the food is bad. They do have microwaves though so that is nice.
