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.

Students are mean and not friendly. Teachers are usually pretty vague in what they are teaching and don't really give you a lot of information. But, some teachers are really amazing at teaching. The school seems to care a lot about sports and physical education. The school lunch is horrible, and the cafeteria smells like sweaty socks. The school isn't that good and the students are rude.

Some teachers are good, others are bad. We were supposed to be able to sit with our friends on fridays during lunch starting in January, but one kid was talking while the principal was talking and we got the privilege taken away. We only got to sit with our friends 3 times.
