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 Middle School Teachers are so lovely and sweet, however the other staff members (THE PRINCIBALALSA) are extremely disrespectful, uninvolved, and unprofessional in terms of helping the students out. They aren't helpful at all, they basically just throw everything onto the teachers and the kids and call it a quits. The kids do not learn anything at all, and constantly feel disrespected. I do not recommended sending your kids to this school at all. (P.S. the food sucks.)
