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 teachers are very helpful and understanding. Most are willing to help out in anyway they can. Very good at following 504/ieps. Though some teachers can be rude and not as understanding as others. The food can definitely be better but it is something that you can eat without getting sick
