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.

It's terrible, most of the classrooms don't have air conditioning, students often skip class in the hallways and in the restrooms refusing to go to class. during class changes, fights often break out and cause chaos in the hallways. As for education, it's good and the teachers are very friendly and nice

The only things I would change is getting more school activties more involed withe events more clubs .
