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 think that it is a great school to be apart of, however the issue lays in with the school administration not being able to handle a lot of the students. Each individual student needs a lot of attention, yet there are staff shortages everywhere in all the departments, causing overcrowding in classes.

They built this school by a gun range. You can hear gun shots all day long. What happens if there is shooting in the school? The school is built right next to the middle school and an elementary school up the street. The traffic before and after school is horrific. Bad planning at best. There are ma...
