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.

When I attended this school each teacher had different was of teaching. Some teachers were friendly and approachable, yet others not so much. Teachers would take the time to have coach classes and find tutored for the ones who struggles. I saw the Pros and Cons of this school so that's why I think it was an Okay school.
