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.

When scores are very low and this school is based on a bell curve, it will perform much lower than any school in the area. Great schools are showing this school much better than it is. I rate it a 4/10. I have two kids at this school with 5 years of data.
