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 went here for 7-8th grade(I am now a high school junior) and my experience was pleasant. I remember a lot of happy, young hearted teachers who taught me. They were as sweet as can be and they were ALWAYS there for you; school or personal life. The food was actually good for it to be school food and they had an a la carte which was in place for you to buy something extra like cookies or pizza when it isn't pizza day. I loved it there!!
