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.

They allow kids to be assaulted on school grounds with no repercussions. They do not protect the students. The principals do not respond to parents when contacted about anything. Parents are left out of the loop. They allow bullying. They push political agendas on students without parental consent....

This is a great school. If you are in need of help with anything, they will work with you and they have a concern, they will let you know right away instead of just calling on you. They are willing to work with you on getting it resolved! They actually let you be a parent! My daughter has done great...
