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.

The school has gone though several principals and assistant principals. The leadership at the school needs improvement. I would not send my child to a school where the population keeps growing and at the same time staff is shrinking.

I attended this school's 7 and 8th grade classes in 2005-2007. The teachers were great. I miss them so much. However, I had an overall bad experience with the students in my class. The teachers and staff failed to deliver when I complained about being teased and intimidated.
