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 was lucky enough to have really good teachers. There were some classes I didn't enjoy because they were boring or not good teachers. The school was set up by teams so 2-3 teams per grade which was fun because you could go on team field trips or do team activities, but also not as nice because it was possible you could be separated from your friends. People at the school were mostly all nice and there was very slim amounts of bullying. I would go back if I had to re-do middle school.

Bad school, simply put. Graduated a few years ago but my sister goes there now. Teachers and admin seem to be under the impression that their job is not to teach kids or encourage them to grow or think for themselves but to control a group of misfits who are all only looking to make their lives hard...

Awful. Not a supportive environment for children. Some of the staff are very cruel towards students with learning disabilities. Whatever the opposite of compassion is, some of the teachers have that.
