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 just do not like this school. The students are toxic and are just plain rude and the teachers suck except Mr. Nelson and maybe a few more people but overall I do not like it. I have only been here halve a year and iv'e found this all out through a screen. Of course Covid-19 has messed up everything causing the government to shut down practically all the schools leaving me and a few million more kids at home. The teaching... the teaching is okay. I guess? What I mean by "okay" is because all the teachers are rude and very demanding. Of course teachers are meant to demand you but they aren't meant to be rude about it. It's whatever. But good luck to any students in the future. Hope you don't experience stuff like me and a few other kids.

Especially great band/music program. All of my children have thrived he...
