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.

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.

In my opinion is a descent school with a goo diversity, and culture. This school always celebrate students achievements and gives them the resources to succeed. My only problem with this school is how dirty the building is and the lack of air conditioning in parts of the building. Another thing I don't like is how we don't have sports, only clubs that aren't so great because they are stressful.
