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 types of clubs aren't very diverse and you don't have many options to choose from a club to another club. There are little amount of clubs which fits for a small amount of people.

Estoy muy indignada porque en esta escuela hay favoritismo a hijos de maestros que laboran ahí y no saben dar el verdadero valor a los estudiantes que realmente se dedican y son buenos estudiantes y tienen mejores calificaciones. No me parece justo en que se basan para dar premios a los estudiantes...

Unorganized. Unsafe. Overcrowded. Send your kids somewhere else if you have the option.
