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.

There was a fight every other day. Practically everyone was disrespectful, and at least five people got kicked out of class every block. The only thing that keeps this from a one-star review is the teachers. The teachers cared about they were teaching and most of them did it well. I don't recommend this school to anyone, including my past self.

There are a bunch of bullies and half the teachers left in the middle of the school year and never came back and my child had a sub for the remaining of the year. My child can’t remember one thing they learned from that school.
