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.

This school is overall a very good school. The teachers and faculty try and help the students with their school education and life skill education. They do very well with dealing with disabilities in students.

One change that I believe needs to be made is to create a school-based center that provides free counseling for students who just need someone to talk to.
