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.

It is a good middle school. There are clubs to go after school with your friends and the teachers are pretty nice. The teachers there make the classes enjoyable to be in. They also will be there for the students if they need any help. The lunch food are ok. There are multiple field trips throughout the school year that are enjoyable. For example the Six Flags field trip was pretty fun and a great day to make memories.
