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.

It did not matter that there were two security guards at the school students were bullied on a regular and even by some teachers on a regular. The nurses did not have any real skills or interactions with the students you never felt like the nurse help you with anything when you were sick. I don't know of any resources because we were never told about any of them. I'd never felt safe. I just stayed away from many students as I possibly could.

The school has not been upgraded in many years. It still have all the old admities from the past. It look like any early 1970 school. We never had assess to any new books or computers. I mean we were always told that our school did not have the budget to get any new equipment at all because of the school board cut backs.
