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.

The school has wonderful sports to participate in. The principal Ms.Willard is a great principal she keeps the school in order and the students in order to help keep her school in a smooth flowing. The teachers are very hard working they try their best to help the students learn what their supposed.
