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.

We have a large number of AP courses with highly qualified teachers. Teacher retention is high (98%) in the district and they all appear committed to teaching. I have never seen or experienced bullying or any acts of violence among students. So far, it is like school is supposed to be.

School cares alot about academics and test scores, they don't care about the students. Front office staff sucks and they are rude to both students and parents.

This is not the school you want to send a child that does not fit the box of being "white or caucasian". African American students ne...
