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.

The best part about my school is there are so many program to be in and the sports games are amazing. The not so comfortable part of it is the lunch food and some teacher who doesn't teach!

If I could give them a zero I would. The staff does not care about your kids or have their best interest at heart. They make assumptions and can’t communicate clear consistent messages. When you ask to meet with them they are dismissive and approach it as a waste of there time. Most importantly, you...
