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.

It's a very diverse school and has great parent involvement. I wish there was more stability and teacher retention. I would like to see teachers who are actually prepared to teach the classes.

There are fights every week and the school has been locked down before. Not super fun and doesn't make you feel safe.
