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.

If I could give this school a negative number, I would. I regret enrolling my children. If I could homeschool my children or enroll them into a different school, I would, in a heartbeat!

There are a few great teachers there. They are over worked and have large classes because parents want their children in those classes. Overall dismal experience child lost ground while we attended this poorly performing school.
