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.

The teacher to parent communication is horrible. The school it self is falling to peices. I pulled my son out of school mid year because it wasn't up to par as far as standard of learning. My son was falling behind from what I was teaching him because the expectation of the curriculum is very low..
