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 loved most of my teachers except for that handful that either didn't teach or were just very mean, I did had a lot of fun here but i don't understand why we aren't able to wear our own jackets because after all the heaters are all broken except for a few rooms. Also in the summer we don't have a.c or fans so it's a lose lose situation. Additionally I wish we were able to pick our own extra class for example french, music, etc. so we can enjoy it and try. Also how come or "school store" is also a gun shop, so what are they promoting?

This school was bad. There are rats in the walls and many other issues. The teaching is the opposite of superb and bullying and exposure is accepted in this school. DO NOT BRING YOUR CHILDREN HERE.
