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.

Some teachers are fine! But my only concern is Principal Jennifer Doucette. She constantly yells to students. She is very rude, and always pushes students to the edge. Bullying in this school is unacceptable. Please contact MPS About this principle.
