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.

I was a student here and It's a good school but the people who work in the cafeteria and outside the cafeteria are extremely rude...they will yell right in your face and talk behind your back. Their is no sports and you need uniform... there is guitar and violin on Wednesdays and Thursdays and food at this school in bad but good teachers if your lucky enough and friendly people. Please fire Clare she rude and yeah. You do get bullied if your annoying and weird.
