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.

It all seems great and about the whole child. The current leadership is limited in the support systems or ideas to solving problems because it's a turn and burn kinda school without services. The school ratings are below average. If you have issues with getting services or bullying or other? Enroll your child elsewhere immediately. Don't waste your time. Vote with your feet and just write a review about it. There is plenty of other options and better opportunities elsewhere that will gladly take your child. :)
