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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

The overall experience isn't great, there are some good teachers but most are awful. Our school building is old and needs updates badly.

This district was the only school district I have attended. I made more friends from other schools than I did here. Its a very judgemental environment and can be very difficult to get though at a young age.

We have 2 children in this school district after having gone here ourselves. District has strong sports and music programs, both with huge support from booster groups and the community. Communication with teachers we have encountered at the high school has been mixed - some don't respond to emails a...

Drugs run wild in the student population and the administration knows it but does nothing to stop it. They run out any teac...

Special doors have been installed and the only way to get inside of the school is to buzz in with the office. All classroom doors are locked at all times and when a student leaves the room they mus...
