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.

My experience here has been nothing short of a journey. Being here for only 3 years I have seen how much the school has changed. From changing principals, to redecorating the cafeteria. It has been an experience to say the least.

My overall experience was that the faculty and staff were horrible to children. Many kids, including myself, were victims of bullying by teachers and staff.

Idividualized Learning: Implement personalized learning plans that cater to students' unique strengths, weaknesses, and learning styles. Use technology to facilitate individualized instruction, adaptive learning platforms, and targeted interventions. Project-Based Learning: Integrate more project-based learning approaches to make education more hands-on and practical. Encourage collaborative projects that simulate real-world problem-solving and critical thinking.

There is a bullying issue at this school. A lot of students don't respect their peers. Many kids are lonely and left out because of it. Most teachers are kind and helpful though, which is very important. I feel like less assignments could be helpful though. Extra work adds more stress and students n...
