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 underperforming. The staff appear disinterested. The principal is a bully. If education is important, do not send your child here.

As far as safety is concerned, the school was pretty weak. Never saw an officer around.

When one of my friends got into with her, we notified the staff and they suggested we not get into with her. Seemed to me they were more concerned about no upsetting her than keeping the students as a WHOLE safe.
