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.

The teachers at this school treats all the students the same. if anyone needs help they try their best to help the students get a better understanding. if i had to i would attend this school again because it's a great school and i would recommend anyone to it, the teachers have a marvelous way of helping all the students get where they need to be academically.. The have some of the best teaching styles that are traditionally, so if you're used to one on one help after class that would be a great school for you.
