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.

My older child got bullied by a teacher and the principal told me that we could transfer my son. I explained that this did not solve the problem. Reports later showed her bullying continued. The teacher was moved down to teach even younger students and eventually moved within the district. Not really resolving the problem. Our new school will have kids stay inside and move them out a few at a time when parents arrive during inclimate weather. This one will make them all stand outside. Poor care of students all the way around.

The motto for this school is Deceit and Deception. The office constantly loses important and private paperwork on the children. The principle is always conviently not available. IEP's are disregarded and one teacher refused my child entrance to school. Terrible school.
