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.

This school really promotes anti-bullying. Any bullying cases are resolved quickly and fairly. This is a very safe school; there have been no cases of unknown intruders. Students are advised to keep all valuable belongings safe. There are very few cases of stolen items. The nurse is very helpful and understanding. Most people would agree that this school is safe.
