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.

What makes this school unique is the shows that the teachers would help the students put on. I remember this nutcracker show the school had for Christmas. It was amazing. I couldn't stop watching the rehearsal.

The school used to be good with really great teachers who were helpful and did strive to see their students do well. Once the administration changed everything started to go downhill. Education doesn’t seem like a priority anymore for this school.
