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.

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.

Great school with dedicated teachers that know what they're talking about. Decipline is an issue though. Some students have ruined the experience and get a slap on the wrist. The small student body makes it nice and easy to find friends but you know everyone and everyone knows you so there are ups and downs

With no windows, stimulating activities, or no access to the outdoors at all, this school makes its students out to be anxious, depressed robots. While most of the teachers are great, it is clear that the school as a whole does not care about the happiness of its students.
