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 sent all three of my boys here and teachers and staff were great. Teachers are very dedicated to the learning of my children. They offer programs for your chidren for assistance if they're behind in certain areas of school work. So I would recommend this school for anyone to go.
