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.

This school is like a family. Most of the teachers work very hard to give us (the students) the best learning experience.

Everyday a hot meal is offered or the students can choose to eat a healthy salad with varieties of toppings. However, it is still cafeteria food. Not every meal will be liked but there are always healthy food options.

I had my children attend & now my grandchild have attended. It has significantly gone down hill since my children were enrolled. Granddaughter recently left the school district because they let bullying go on until there ends up being violence between students.
