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 teachers there are nice, and it seems like they care. However bullying is a major problem there. My son suffered from bullying for 2 years, we would tell the teacher and complain and it took them forever to resolve the problem. Nice school, but the bullying needs to be worked on.
