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.

I like this school I went to for a lot of reasons. The teachers were friendly and made every new lesson look easy by giving explanations and strategies on how to understand the lesson better. All the teachers had respect toward the students. Most of the teachers were passionate about their classrooms. Everyday I got encouraged to do my best.

When I was in school times were tough because I was the only one of my ethnicity in a school of 1,000 students, and the kids weren't very accepting. I wouldn't say I was bullied all the time but it was really hard to gain acceptance, even from some teachers. I rated the school as bad, but if I had the chance then I would do it again, because the experiences I gained from going to such a school strengthened my resolve to do the best I could and make the most of my hat I was learning inside and outside of the classroom. I want to become better than what is around me, and in turn make my surroundings better.

Shocking how good this school is. Anybody that has been to a hard-nosed school in a tough luck community would know that this is neither. Fantastic school, fantastic teachers that care.
