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.

Its a great school and its also a very clean one. I come from Los Angeles where the schools are dirty trashed and everything is tagged up. This school is very clean teachers are also great. At the end of the day parents and school must work together. They also need our help.
