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.

Would not recommend this school I abousolutly hate it. There's drug dealers as students. kids smoking on campus and fights all the time, and staff just don't know how to notice anything, I also feel sorry for teachers and kids that have a higher IQ than almost anybody there. please do not put your kids in sylvan. I am an 8th grader at this school and would like to leave. At least I'm going to be grahuating out of this school soon. I understand that all middle schools would be this way but this to my opinion and perspective of being in the school for 3 years seems to be a little more violence, drugs etc. Than what I think and see.
