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.

This school has a uniform dress code as all public schools for this county does. They do have a dress code and bullying policy in place. There is also an attendance policy in place which would involve a truancy officer if students miss too many days from school. These policy are given to parents during registration and parents do sign the form acknowledging they have been made aware of the policies in place.
