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.

Entering this middle school, the grades are very divided. Sixth graders get the trailers outside, seventh graders get upstairs, and eight grade is down stairs. I like this concept, but it really does separate the grades. One thing I would say about the middle school, is that it was crowded and it has just gotten worse. Other than the overpopulation, I am glad that I got to attend this school.
