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.

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.

Some of the the teachers acted like they didn't care about teaching and normally when a teacher does not care students tend to not care either, the bathrooms always had to be locked so if you took to long your locked in lol but you can still get out. They're also rats inside the school so you may see one run into your classroom. Also a lot of the kids may be very rude.The lunch is the normal Columbus city schools lunch, the school is also very big.

The school itself isn't fully the issue. The building though for one isnt taken care of at all. Majority of staff doesnt keep up on what they should. Students are treated by favorites not like students. Classes are not conducted professionally.

Low graduate rate. A few teachers are disrespectful for no reason. The school is pretty clean, I give them that. Somet...
