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 teachers do not know how to talk to the kids in the school and are fast to suspend the kids without all the facts. By far the worst school for kids in the district

The teachers there are well educated on the diversity and needs of the students. Since there are so many different cultures and background of students, the teacher need to know how to approach all of them, and they do. The teachers care and do a wonderful job with the students.
