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.

This school is very unacceptable, the teachers do not engage with the students and the teachers will mark you absent even with a note from the office as my child told me this. The food is horrible, my son showed me pictures of the food and i was horrified by this sight.
