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.

I love the teachers there and how they make us feel so loved. Every time I walked in I always got a smile from a teacher. I was in band for 5 years and both directors I had were awesome and provided us enough time to practice and become better at playing. The counselor and principles are very helpful when we have questions and concerns.
