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.

There was non-stop bullying which the principle or teachers did nothing about. The protected the bully and empowered them. Also there have been fights and weed smoking in school.

I'm going into 8th grade and I have loved it here I have made lots of friends . Of course like any school there are sometimes fights and not always great lunch but the teachers are hard working and really care about us. My favorite teachers are mr vancasterin (6th grade math) issac park (7th grade ela) and ms suh ( 7th grade math) all teachers are great but there are my top three I love this school and recommend it however be careful if your kid is sensitive cause there is quite a bit of trash talking

I am a 7th grade student here and it has been okay. All the teachers are nice and know what they are doing, except for the house 10 English teacher. After school programs are great.
