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.

One of the most radical agendas in public schools, very little focus on academics, more on social issues ie gender ideology and far left leaning politics. Not math or science focused. Do not send your children here , worse than your regular local public schools.

If you want your child to be mentally unstable all of their middle school years, i suggest you send your kid here. I'm no one to judge this school, but from everything that's happened during my time there i would never send my kid there. No teachers, Admin will not care about your child if they are bullied and the lack of teaching is wild. Please don't send your kid here. Teachers are good but deserve better.

The school is really good. Looking forward to its expansion for high school and big playgrounds. School should introduce bus facility so that kids from nearby places can join too.

The principal is a rude and unprofessional woman who ignores parents’ concerns and does not respond to requests. The professionalism of some teachers is also questionable: my child was forced to sit alone in...

If you ever 'win' the lottery at this school, pls reconsider. Read the reviews before deciding to enroll your children.The image the school portrays does not match up to reality. 'The Honor School of Excellence' - nowhere in sight, but that's the branding you will see to 'win' you over.The school re...
