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.

I felt very safe at this school. The gates were closed during school hours and there were always teachers watching the students. There used to be a counselor who would sometimes teach mini lessons in my English class. Students never had the chance to have a one-on-one conversation with the counselor. She left a few years ago.
