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 has a lot to do with the students. There are a decent amount of kids that go here because they have no where else to go. Many of the kids deserve better. I went to this school for 8th grade and im glad it was only for a year. My little sister went here and had a horrible experience she ended up switching schools not even half way through the school year. The way she explained it to me it was way worse than what i experienced

This school is so weird and the kids here are very rude. In my last year here there were fights almost EVERY day which prevented us for having an average learning experience. The kids are disrespectful, teachers are lazy with their jobs, and if you present a solution it most likely will get ignored....

I wouldn’t recommend this school because most of the teachers can’t teach,control their classes, or care about their students education. Also there has been a lot of fights this school year and one time there was 3 fights in one day.

My child literally went here only 2 days and I've got calls back to back because she constantly have to defend herself against other children ... This is crazy I'm gonna look into a transfer tomorrow morning

The experience I have encounter within this school was a negative experience. I would not encourage, Parents who value strong education and a safe environment for their child/children to send them into this school. They will regret it.
