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.

Out of all the schools in the district, this one is not a school we would recommend to anyone if by choice. My child did not feel safe there bc of the inappropriate behavior from a male teacher and after the fact a different male teacher from this school was arrested bc of inappropriate relations with a student. The safety of children at a school should be of the upmost priority and in my eyes this school does not put their safety first
