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.

My son's experience here was horrible, lots of bullying happens here. The teachers and staff here are terrible at dealing with issues between students. The teacher are always big liars and "lie to my son all the time." My son got beat up here today and the teacher did nothing about it. Whatever you do, DO NOT go to this school.
