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.

Horrible place to send your kids. Staff are very bad and unsupportive. This school has many issues with students feeling unsafe. Do not under any circumstance send your child here

It was my first public school in 4 years. All in all it was just okay but if you wanted to get into a higher level class it was extremely difficult due to the counsellor not wanting to move kids up. The dress code at the school is horrible for the kids making you cover everything up to your knees and elbows. However was extremely lenient when it came to teacher allowing one teacher to wear extremely tight short dresses that showed off her chest. The best faculty is from the history department for sure.

The students themselves are really smart and the school is known for its high test scores. But personality wise, many of the students suck.

Dr Polk and her staff do a great job with the safety and learning of our children. Communication is good and how often do you see the principal directing traffic when the police officer is not on site. The school recently hosted a cultural night which was a great success. You and your child will enj...

This school is horrible. The bullying here is really extreme and there is very little support from staff. 504 plans and IEP's very commonly get ignored and overlooked. Some teachers here are extremely unqualified and unfit for their jobs. Kids with Autism and ADHD are ignored and bullied. Kids and a...
