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.

This school is pretty good. It's not the best but it's a school, so what do you expect? It's enough to provide an education and support. There are some problems with the security though. A month ago, a student was throwing water down one of the stairwells at the end of the day, I didn't get wet, but others did. They punished the student, but they couldn't stop it from happening.

I recently graduated from this school and its not as bad as everyone inside tries to make it seems. you will make long maybe lifetime friendships in there and staff are friendly. The only thing wrong is the food and the cleanliness of the school. some parts of the school are insanely dirty and near the PE gym you will see dust and some mold( or whatever that is) on the ceiling Also if you want to participate in clubs, this school doesn't offer many

There are some teachers that are amazing. They engage students and really make learning fun. Unfortunately, not all teachers are like that. Some, start projects not to finish them, and others could care less about students. Some even criticize the students. Overall the teaching staff is ok.

This school is terrible for autistic children in grades K-1. The teacher there only cares about herself and her reputation, nothing else matters. When all that should matter is the kids. Both her and the assistant principal should be reviewed. Please find another option if you value your child's edu...
