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.

I graduated in 2014, when the school was just beginning to convert to an IB school. The lower grade teachers are great but as the grades get higher, the teaching quality begins to fall apart. There are some unnecessary classes and some of the teachers are way outdated.

I am happy to have my students in the school. Mr. Mullen and Mrs. Allen are great leaders and are both very approachable. My child is happy and his teacher has really done wonders for his academic growth this school year.
