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.

TERRIBLE! Do not go there! There are bullies. My child came home crying hard saying that a group of 5th grade girls bullied her. I wouldn't recommend this EVER! Yesterday my child told me too move her too a new school. I put her in West wind. She loves it. She hasn't complained once about the staff or students.

This school is just below standards , teachers who lack knowledge of teaching methods , principals who have outdated mindset for student behavior and this school is not inclusive . Just an arbitrary institution that lacks ethics . Please don’t have high expectations of the staff.
