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 Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

It is a really close knit school and everyone knows everyone so that is nice. The school is really old and we don't have enough money. There are lots of changes that need to be made; like overall organization, pay, and the way there is constant moving.

The staff and education is phenomenal, however the students themselves are crude and it makes it a toxic environment.
