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.

This school is getting worse and worse by the years people think it looks like a good school from the outside but they have no structure no discipline. So therefore there is complete chaos. Also the principal only pitch sometimes when things get really out of control because it will possibly mess up...

Horrible. This school has failed to effectively handle issues such as bullying and the classroom sizes are huge. The learning environment is sub-par, the students are disrespectful, and gaining a decent education is nearly impossible here.
