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.

I've been to many different schools throughout my life and this is probably the worst one I've been to. The campus is poorly cleaned, the teachers are lazy and the students can't control their behavior. The kids should be disciplined and face consequences for their actions, I constantly see other kids being picked on and being bullied as well, while the teachers and staff stand around and ignore it.

Extra curricular activities were not really announced. Sports were available but not many knew about them. Little to no school spirit. Good teachers.

Fights break out dangerously frequently, and students don’t act respectful nor caring. Students throw food items literally every oth...
