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.

The staff lies just as bad as the children, and we are supposed to be teaching our children not to lie. The staff is not aware of policies and procedures and provide the incorrect information to parents. There is no control over the school there are fights every other week.

"Great Schools.org" is a terrible and biased formula/site. My daughters attended this school, took advantage of all the great opportunities and exceled! A few disgruntled parents and students bring the rating down unfairly.
