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 was a pretty interesting school. I did enjoy the early years but once you got to 6 grade it was terrible. While system just doesnt help you for high school really. Its pretty old too could probably use a remodel. Also everyone tries way to hard to get involved; basically the parents around the community are way too strict along with many others.
