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.

I'm reluctant to send my soon to Ben sixth grader to this school. Neighboring kids have nothing good to say the last two years. They have told me to anticipate my child iether going unnoticed or being bullied. They have told me nearly daily about fights at the school. It begs the question in Fargo public schools..."why aren't parents being informed of their children's behavior both good or bad?" Numerous times I've helped other friends file complaints and even remove their student from schools that aren't proactive. I'm to the point where the combination of poor reading and math scores and the fighting in school has led me on a mission to find a different educational facility for our child.

Very bad, my daughter is now switching schools after a traumatic couple of years. There was lots of fights and bullying that caused her to have severe anxiety.
