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.

I think there are many great teachers and staff here. Although when I entered this school the students where not the best at behaving. Although I have seen great improvement over the years. I have great memories here and would not change it for another school. There are many others who enjoyed it as well and I think it is a great choice for Middle School. Learning here too was great I learned many valuable lessons.

The teachers and staff care immensely about the stud...

There is only one problem, some of the kids at this school are a bit too ingnorant and...
