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.

Very good school with above average teachers and a very intelligent student body. Also, the support system within the school is very good, and all teachers aim to help you.

It may just be because middle school is a time when everyone is going through puberty but the kids were the nastiest kids ever. Everyone was so materialistic and judgmental.
