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.

My school is "okay" regarding safety issues. Bullying ? I've heard several stories where my school does nothing at all. Personal safety? We do need our school I.D with us at all times , however that rule has seemed to die down as the years go on. We do require anyone who is going to pick p a student at our school to go to the main office for them to check if they are on the emergency information list. If not, they're not allowed to . Our school does monitor the hallways and we do have a few security guards who are always around.
