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.

Parents STAY AWAY! This school is horrible. They have a culture of bullying and the school DOES NOTHING to stop it. They don’t have control over the kids. Today was the last straw, removing my son ASAP! Principal Castro is the worst. If you can, transfer or homeschool.
