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.

Great school with caring teachers and engaging classmates. My kids enjoyed their time in middle school and are well prepared academically for high school. This is a smaller school district but there is no lack of activities and opportunities both in terms of clubs and academic courses.

I am working as staff and noticed that so many faculty members didn't even say hello on hallway if I am not with my boss. They think that I am just worker. They don't know I have phD. I learned that people judge people by their appearance and position. Some teachers greet me normally.
