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.

My experience was good, the best part was meeting new people and the worst was getting used to the school as it consists of many parts including 6 floors and different clubs/activities sometimes it was hard to navigate. I wouldn't like to see anything change.

I went there as a sub and did not feel welcomed at all. The administration office, one of the staff is very rude, she banned me out from the school because I put my head down in the classroom, she made me feel invaluable and uncomfortable infront of the students.
