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 was horrendous. It was gross, with no AC at all. Not to mention. My 8th grade year, my teachers literally targeted me and scored me differently than other students because they didn't like me. Seventh grade really was the only god year I had.

The teachers are either trying to be friends with the students or talk down to the students. Administration only wants students to write papers for discipline. Physical & mental bullying. No parents contacted of your child is assaulted by another child. Teachers are on cell phones or laptops as much...

Absolutely no complaints. This school district is doing a great job despite servicing two townships. No need to send your kids to a private school when the public school system is doing fantastic work!

A great school in the west shore area. Moved my kids from CV school district and have not noticed any difference in quality of their education. They absolutely love their teachers and the staff!
