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.

It is a pretty good school. I had an okay experience there. The traffic when school gets out is awful. Most of the teachers were nice. But I do know some people who had terrible teachers there. The workload was a shock to me in sixth grade. Transitioning from elementary school to middle school was pretty difficult. Overall, I think this school is better than some of the other middle schools I've heard about.

Teachers are engaging and inspiring. My child received 1-on-1 help with writing which helped her essays go from C's to A's
