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.

I am a substitute teacher for eighth grade math and today the students were rewarded for being on the A/B honor roll. The entire class, with the exception of 4 students, went to the celebration. These students are academically motivated and the teachers push the students. Great school!!
