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 is a school that took care of me while attending and continues to do so while I am enrolled in high school. They accept cultural differences being given their location, and adapt to the children's needs. It was a big transition coming o my high school from Southwest, because no one is accepting. I treasure the relationships with the teachers and administration I have built throughout my middle school years.
