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 teachers here at this school are much too caught up in picking out there favorite students at the beginning of the year. Being that I was a male I feel that there is a majority of women teachers at the school, therefore I felt as if the women were treated in a much better manner.

I loved this school but we had absolutely no freedom to do anything. Giving students freedom will alow for them to understand self-discipline. This school was fun but the teachers are the only flaw in this school.
