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.

never come here the kids say they will jump eachother, the staff is so awful, cranky, and so rude and mean. Nobody feels safe and happy at this so called school. The teachers are aloud to say mean and bad words to their children whiteout getting in trouble or with punishment.
