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 daughter attends this school. The principal, teachers and staff are great. They go the extra mile to keep you up to date of everything. Kids get greeted with music when the bell rings and at the end of the day to motivate the kids. They have excellent study support. Offer tutoring daily and grizzly lab on Saturdays available for students that are falling behind. Etc...

Horrible bullying problem with inadequate repercussions. Cell phone use problem interfering with academics and teachers either don’t enforce/don’t care/or are oblivious. Supposed to be the best middle school in the district, but it’s horrendous. I hate to see what the other schools are like.

Administration has always been supportive and puts students first. Teachers seem to enjoy their environment, feel supported and pass it on to the students. My son has enjoyed his 7th & 8th grades years at UG
