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.

The best part was meeting people I would keep in my life for a while. The worst part was the academics. I did not feel ready for high school when I left, especially in Spanish. I had taken Spanish 1 and 2 in middle school and had to retake Spanish 2 before continuing in high school because we did not learn anything in the curriculum. The only club/sport I was in was Cheerleading. It was extremely unorganized and complicated to be a part of.

Administration turns a blind eye to reported incidents of bullying, therefore creating an unstable, unhealthy environment for the students. Posted policies and procedures are not followed and communication is very poor.

This school is horrible to the extreme. I've watched them cause my son instability and I'm seeing it now in my nephew. I will be home schooling my upcoming middle schoolers.
