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.

Most of the teachers there grade based off of their feelings about the students. There are some teachers that genuinely care and grade fairly, but as a whole the teachers are bad.

My overall experience at this school wasn't a good one. The school puts performing arts before academics and their academics are mediocre. The school isn't one I would recommend for someone to send their child. The school isn't all bad. It has its good like the shows, plays, and activities, but overall it's just not a good environment.
