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 am in a g&t class and the teachers here just are so horrible to the g&t classes specifically. They are treating us with disrespect and expect us to respect them back. I would highly not recommend this school, do not send your child here. Please consider another school.
