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.

Took my kids out. Awful school, awful people. Kids with parents who are employed get away with everything. Newcomers are not welcome, dont bother trying to fit in. The people who live in nearby areas warned me the school was awful but I didnt listen ended up with miserable uneducated kids.
