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.

the students at this school are incredibly rude, disrespectful, and awful people. they constantly say slurs to each other, are incredibly racist towards other classmates, and believe women are less than (many of the middle schoolers are huge fans of andrew tate). many students in middle school also harass and bully a disabled kid and the school doesn't take any repercussions to stop this harassment. someone reported it and they told the bully that he wasn't going to get in trouble for what he did. when they called a student in to discuss it, they intimidated him and got in his face. when i heard this, i was incredibly disgusted. i had attended this school in my elementary and middle school years and it wasn't this bad. it was bad, but this is hell compared to what i went through. please, spare your kids the stress and send them literally anywhere else. chances are that your kid will end up getting bullied and they won't do anything about it because they play favorites.

Budget was spent on buying chromebooks instead of giving teacher proper salaries and health benefits. No classro...

It has a private school quality and class sizes in a public school. Everyone I have encountered genuinely cares for the children. It’s not just a paycheck to them.
