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 tater tots are amazing, but the chicken leg drumsticks are bio hazardous. The chicken nuggets look radioactive. Most of the teachers are really nice, some however are out to get certain students, and I one point somebody had to write a bullying report against a teacher. but the students are all kind of strange. Besides that, the school is pretty average.

Equity issues, especially regarding sexism & ableism. Needs work on communication In the administration, but other than that this school is an average middle school in HOCO. The teachers (especially in the English departments) are fantastic. Your child will be able to succeed here.
