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.

I was a student here in 8th grade and what I saw was stupid. First and foremost is the annoying lunchroom where there's always conflict there. I have seen kids being pulled from their lunchroom because of something they didn't do. Secondly is the teachers are very bad at their job. There are some great teachers but there are teachers that are just bad and they still work here despite of their fail ratio. Thirdly the school is just so restrictive that you can't walk even freely without being stopped by staff. Even this does not stop there there are fights and rude students. It seems endless and there's police presence really. I can't even say anymore because this school is inefficient at working to make this school fun and safe for everyone.

I go to this school, it's not as bad as you would think, the people reviewing are from that school and they just don't like school.
