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.

It is a good school but, there are still problems they need to solve 1. They need more people to enforce the rules 2. They need more sympathy for the kids that did not do anything wrong 3. (This is a good one) They have very good programs for the students and an amazing PTA 4. This school definitely exceeded my expectations when i was coming, but they still have things to fix 5. If you are thinking of coming here, please consider the amount of kids that go to this school and how physical they are.
