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 helped me through my 6th, 7th and 8th grade years. I had ample amounts of fun, however at the same time learning so much. They had everything here from a full functioning science lab (or two), to a full gym and agricultural class. 10/10 would recommend going here.
