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 had a lot of favoritism and allowed the athletes to wear short shorts but wrote me up for wearing capris. My future kids will not attend this awful district. I was bullied by a girl and coach stamp did nothing about it.
