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.

The best part about my experience at the school was the sense if community I got from not only my peers but from the staff as well. The staff are extremely friendly and are always there for you when you are feeling down or not doing too well academically. Everyone there isn't shy to lend out a helping hand thus making my experience all the more better.

The staff is very friendly and everyone knows who everyone else is. There are many clubs that students can join and the day is structured to always include office hours which is a big help to everyone. However, there aren't a lot of choices when it comes to electives or AP classes.

My daughter was bullied. Despite repeated trips in to see the teachers and principal, nothing was done. We ended up pulling her out and enrolling her in private school. She was traumatized by these girls, and I fear will carry the scars with her for a very long time. Funny, I notice another parent w...
