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.

We have an zero tolerance for bullying, we have health/safety programs, and are in contact with local police regularly. Our doors remain locked during the school day, and we have policies in place for things such as terrorist, weather issues and fire safety.

My teachers definitely go above and beyond any teachers that I have had in the past. They are always willing to help me learn and achieve more. They push me past my limits because they know that I can go further.
