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.

the school has strict guidelines against bullying but do not follow them. My child has been bullied verbally and physically yet the principal refuses to follow correct guidelines and down plays the severity of the offenses committed, even when the same child reoffends. I have had to quit my job to homeschool my child since there are no other middle schools in the district. since this is an under performing school and not every parent can afford to homeschool allowing interdistrict transfers would greatly benefit students that no longer feel safe at this school.
