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.

Very bad experience for 3 yrs. Had two kids at this school. A handful of great teachers, most no longer work there. They let my child fall way behind to where we needed very expensive tutoring. And last straw was administration believing a male bully over my daughter and the bruise on her face. We now homeschool. This school doesn't deserve good ratings.
