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.

School wants involved parents but teachers lack communication skills. My son was having issues and no one told me. Counselor is afraid of dealing with parents. Most of the staff are friendly. The school is safe and we appreciate the SO that they added this year.

My boys love it here. Teachers are nice, caring and friendly. Principal Mr. Bennett is the best he knows the kids by name. He truly makes the effort to know his students and parents. The staff works as a team they are very organized.

My son has attended this school for 4 years now it is a fabulous school. He needed extra help with his reading due to an eye condition and the teachers worked with him to get him up to speed over a period of two years. I would recommend this school to any parents looking for placement. The PTA here...
