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'd like many things to change about this school, namely the educational aspects: electives have been downgraded to one a year and the textbooks are sub-par and outdated. The school is now focused on test scores more than high school is and I feel it is unacceptable to force a lack of fun in middle school, it has become too serious. The food is disgusting and unhealthy, the after school clubs are not diverse and minimal. The only real positives that I have for this school is the teachers and the safety.

Teachers hardly teach, kids are violent and disrespectful. Honestly it's the worst school I've had to deal with and we will be moving out of this district immediately.
