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.

Teachers are very friendly and easy to get along with. Teachers are also very easy to approach if you needed extra help. Also very encouraging of getting involved with extracurriculars. Very tight knit community. Easy to make friends and get along with the majority of the students.
