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.

Passive administration, at best. They prefer to sweep chronic bullying under the rug, which is unacceptable. To make matters worse, a third grade teacher is no better than the bullies - just this past year, she broke 2 laws (refused to allow a child to eat school breakfast, and violatednthe privacy of another), and she's still there this year. It's a shame that the leaders of this institution place no value on integrity or accountability. If you have a choice, I would go somewhere else.

This is our first year, and we have experienced everything from bullying to bad language use by students. This school is totally racist. This is a white washed school. Diversity is not welcomed. If you are a person of color, get ready to have a rough time.
