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.

I love the fact that the students are divided into teams and the teachers on that team work together for an integrated education.

Some teachers were unprofessional, rude, mean, some of them didn't think before acting prejudice towards students because we didn't fit into their box. There were few teachers there who were decent people. The decent ones know who they are.

I would not chose this school given a choice in what school my child could attend.
