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.

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.

This is school is bad. There's constant fights and gun threats. The teachers don't help the students enough, and the current principle is just terrible. There are a few staff that make the students very uncomfortable, and nothing is being done. CONSTANTLY on the news for fighting.. not good.

The school is pretty good, although teachers spend way to much time talking about deaths of black americans. It would be ok having a set week or three days to talk about black history not almost all year. And going it to depth of dead black americans is not a good topic for 12,13,14 year olds.
