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.

It's a nice school with nice teachers, but I don't feel that it prepares ALL kids for college. Some classes have to be dumbed down for children that either can't understand or just won't, and it's hurting those that do understand. On the plus side, it's a family oriented school.

All in all, my experience was decent. Nothing was too crazy. I got the educated that I put my time into.
