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 experience was in correlation with a zoo or one might say a circus act. Treated like an animal and bullying was top priority for the administration. One might be expected to "teach" for ONE class for 3 hours long with no curriculum. Other than that it was absolutely amazing. j/k Administration gave bad review of one fine person. Thanks for the bullying.

I went to school here for 5 years and from day one it really chan...
