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.

Great school. I love the teachers and staff, with the exception of the office staff. The old person with the gray hair acted like she was mad to be at work. She would not get out of that chair to help anybody out or anything . Her behavior was just rude. on mor than one occasion.
