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.

Bright, engaged, supportive teachers and administrators who truly try to set children up for success. Safe campus. Smaller class sizes are a plus. After school sports have been well-organized in our experience.

There are 3 main problems with this school: 1) The principal doesn't like to work and has no interest on the teachers, students and parents community.2) The sports program is a disaster.3) Bullying.The education, on the other side, is decent and some of the teachers are excellent.

Great school! Bullying? Hard to believe. Great kids from great families. Mostly excellent teachers. After school sports are not well coached, but curriculum is decent. Safe campus.
