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.

Sure there has been a few teachers who could not communicate the lessons adequately, but the majority of teachers I have worked with have been wonderful. They give students the necessary information in many different styles so that all students can take something from their lessons. Not to mention it's clear that they are passionate about helping to shape student's education and lives.

This school has exceptionally bad leadership, no ELL teachers, despite a significant ELL population, and low morale. Leadership needs to change. These guys drag their feet on everything and so nothing happens in a timely manner. Hire qualified leaders.
