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 faculty doesn't seem very efficient with the students. Struggling students get left behind due to one teacher who is there to help those in need of extra help with reading. Only one teacher to help seems a bit redicousls. If the teacher doesnt relate to the students who learn differently then how are the students suppose to progress? A staff member even stated "we dont get paid enough for all of this." Which is very discouraging because our kids need an education with someone who cares. We parents were taught differently back then to how they teach now.
