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 is a really frustrating school. Though most of the staff is ok it is the administation way or the highway. Teachers are afraid to actually discipline here due to the parents basically running the school, administation trying to appease them and students know it and take advantage of that fact....
