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.

Many teachers in this school district are dedicated to their work and care for the students, yet some of the teachers do not even put effort into their work. Many teachers simply throw work and information at the students instead of making sure that they actually retain the information. Aside from that, the school is a great learning environment with a few teachers that can make an impact on students.

I enjoyed some of the teachers that I had. One thing I would change is the way the principals handle situations. I feel at some times they don't give as much attention to things that they should be worrying about.
