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.

Very welcoming school and great for making really strong connections. The small school atmosphere really allows you to grow close with teachers and peers alike while being able to get one-on-one help if you need it.

This school is alright, don't expect much. Everyone can get their own Chromebook, but they were bought over 5 years ago. Several teachers are pretty good, but there are many that have no idea what they are doing.
