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.

The school is so big, I think the school has a great PE coach, but the food, not so much. This is one thing they should improve.

First off this school is terrible. Once being a student here for three years must say this isn't a place you would want to send your child. The teachers don't even care about their jobs. They don't even take the time to help and engage with their students. Students here are expected to do everything on their own no help whatsoever. The school does a large amount of donations and ask for the biggest amount of money then don't even use it to help the school or improve the students education. The food is horrible. Nothing healthy and a lot of the food is even expired and spoiled. Apart from the staff being rude and disrespectful registering is always difficult and a struggle. Bullying isn't taken serious at all. I myself being bullied here all the time not once did the school even try to stop it. The school overall lacks in almost everything and isn't a environment you would want your child exposed to.

However I was bullied a couple of times and reported to a teacher, but the teacher only asked the bully if they did...

I wish I could give this school zero stars. I went to this school all 9 years, K through 8. The majority of the school staff bullied me and tried to make me feel bad as I struggled academically in school. I was punished for taking notes in class, putting on a sweater because I'd feel cold, misspelli...
