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 terrible. The students are so rude and the teachers never care about them. There are fights every day and if you even look at someone wrong, you will get jumped. This school does a horrible job at avoiding conflict between students. It is just a major problem. Please fix this school.

It was a horrible experience, people did whatever they wanted. It was extremely low on funds. There were some good teachers there, a dime a dozen basically. Lots of fights and very dirty.
