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 like the teachers who work for those interested in learning. I simply wish the kids themselves at the school would change and be more respectful. Also wish the teachers knew how to handle children with special needs better.

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.

Bullying is not okay, everyone is expected to participate in school activities.
