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.

White families and kids will definitely be happier and more acceptable in this school. Lots of staff and parents are nice but there are enough of the opposites to make you feel white supremacy strongly. It was sad that I had to pull my kid out after I ran out of white lies about it!!!!!

Great school, teachers, and leadership. Unfortunately subject to poor DPS policies and top-heavy central administration... a tax on all DPS schools.
