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.

Bad communication!!! Administration is horrible... This school was a complete 360 from the education and values I received at our previous school. Parents aren't welcomed or giving the sense that they are invited when issues arise.

Horrible school, they pressure kids too much about milestones saying they won’t be passing the 8th grade. Disrespectful teachers, students, and even PRINCIPALS. Never send your kids here.

The school is so horrible. I literally can’t walk without being bullied and when I report the bullying, nothing happens and they just make me sign a no contact form which literally does nothing. They also steal my lunch and are very rude to me and cuss at me I just don’t really recommend this school...

I am going to be honest, this school is horrible. the only good thing there are the teachers that have been there for awhile and our library teacher. I am not even sure where to start on describing this school, but it won’t be in a good way. First of all, these kids here are overall so mean. it does...
