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.

Most teachers are okay. There are a few exceptional that go well beyond what they should. A few because of tenor that should be gone. The passion for teaching is gone.They just want the paycheck. Show up late to class and then wonder why half the class or more fail the Regents exam

SOME COACHES ARE TERRIFIC. YOU HAVE SOME BECAUSE THEY HAVE WINNING RECORDS WITH STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS TREAT THE STUDENTS AWFUL BY SWEARING AND BERATING STUDENTS DOWN IN FRONT OF THE TEAM!! Others are perfect role models for students and so true compassion for the students.

My kids love this school and have been going here since kindergarten teachers are all on hand and make sure every student gets their individual attention!

As a former student here, and as a teacher (not here), I can say that this school is not as bad as some make it out to be, but it isn't stellar. There are several teachers who do care about the students, and who do want the students to learn, but there are also about the same number that do not care...
