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.

Administration targets specific kids, and constantly plays favorites. School is also falling apart with rats and cockroaches everywhere. Teachers are dropping like flies due to the disgusting management of the school by both the interim principle and assistant principle. Quality of life is terrible. Do not send your kids here.
