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 didn't develop well there as a person or a student. I saw many of my peers around me struggle with work and social aspects of school. I will say that the education and overall environment was average, but the social climate was terrible with no help or decent attempts to improve it.

Has a horrible bullying problem. I had to pull my son out of school because he was getting borderline illegal treatment from his teachers and peers.

They have lost control. There is no discipline there and good kids are getting picked on by other students while the administration does nothing. They have been instructed by the district to let most things slide so that the school does not appear to have discipline issues.

Unwelcoming to parents. There are good teachers, but the school is in need of a change in leadership.
