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.

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.

Our student section for sporting events was the highlight of the school. Not sure how it is today, but it was fun a couple years ago. Most of the teachers care about their students too.
