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.

this school is has the worst standards i've ever seen. the teachers and other staff don't care about any of the students and do not stand by their words. there are fights that break out regularly and the students are not even disciplined properly for their behavior. DO NOT RECOMMEND.
