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 teachers and all staff are caring and most have an open door policy and will assist you when need. The school is very inclusive, has many sports, clubs, and extra-curriculars for all to be involved.

This school is pretty average, some teachers are great and others are not so great. The art program is huge, so if you're into art then this is definitely a good school. Very diverse students as well.
