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.

This is not a place of diversity, most teachers and students population are white. I'm Hispanic and when I first went there they look me as I have a disease, they have no tolerance for diversity people, my child felt judged all the time and disrespected. The counselor does nothing and when the students come with a problem they just tell them to stop the drama. Children felt they have nobody to support them.

Horrible. The communication between school and parent were bad. Things were done to the child behind parents back and when confronted, one back up another. If you are looking for School for special Ed, be careful with this one.
