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 have a child attending this school he is a special needs student. I’m very please that his needs have been met here at this school that’s why we are staying so he can get the help he needs. The teachers are very helpful in communicating with the parents. I’m very pleased with this school.
