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.

The school has basic procedures to ensure the safety of the students. There are random anonymous searches monthly, and there is lock on all doors with only access being through the front during the day.

I mean im pretty sure it was an averge middle school, the students in the area were nice and i could make friends, the use of technology was minimal, and i had a few teachers quit or do the bare minimum and get fired. The test scores were okay and the spirits were high. There were many clubs for students in the gifted program. The sports team was the best in the area. I would totally pick this school again.

Another thing is how t...

TERRIBLE SCHOOL!!! Students are often using substances in class, the teachers in the school curse at the students, and their attire looks like they're going out for a party. One of the 8th Grade Science teachers has extreme anger issues, yells at students for little things, is terrible at teaching,...
