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.

Our facilities aren't the best, but the community is nice. In all my years here, I have seen no instances of bullying. Students vary in personality, but I don't think anyone feels left out. If there is any problem amongst students, teachers will address it reasonably, and it's then resolved. Even the most strict teacher of the bunch will help you with due compassion if you come to them with a problem. We recently got a new art teacher who actually teaches us art, and although we don't have many clubs or musical instrument options, students make the most of them and have lots of fun with our music program.

Horrible school! The staff is so unprofessional including the principal! Do not bring your child here . They curse in front of the kids and call them "annoying"
