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.

I feel like for being in a title 1 school, there we're genuine people(teachers), who wanted to help other students succeed and I feel like those teachers are part of my success for graduating highschool. I do think that there were some teachers that made the experience stressful and overwhelming, such as picking on students in a very unprofessional manner (a teacher made a fake phone call to my deceased mother to teach me a lesson).

Worst middle school in the nation. Parents, do not send your children here. It is very unsafe. There's lack of leadership and teaching. Adults don't care in this school.
