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.

My first child went here and it wasn't too bad. 4 years later 90% of the teachers had left and been replaced due to poor leadership from the principal and it definitely shows. Hard to have a great school when it is overcrowded and the teachers won't stay.

The leadership at this school is absolutely horrible The Principle needs to resign or be replaced. Avoid this school at all costs.
