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 have loved the fine arts department of the school as they are always extremely welcoming. A majority of the teachers are willing to help students reach their full potential. The school is very diverse and has a lot of opportunities for all Demographics. However, communication is a major problem in this building.

The is great and has a lot to offer the student. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars has to do with the third lunch students never have time to make it through the line to be able to eat. My son has not had a lunch yet this year.
