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.

This school is ok. Nothing too outstanding but nothing too bad. Safety is kind of good but there are many more schools that I think are better than this school.

I love my school. What i love most is that there is the Old town youth center across the street from there.

The new principal is making many positive changes, especially with the communication, choices of clubs and field trips. My children have been attending this school due to the French Immersion middle school program for 9 years. We have had issues with only only two teachers in 9 years. We have found overall that the teachers care about the students and work hard to help them succeed.

Excellent there is no discussion about it. People will try to find a good excuse as always. Personnel, teacher, student, parents form the synergy of success.
