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.

Not a good school to send a child too. Fights are everyday and Yes, they do practice the "Pipeline to Prison". Look up their report card. Overall Low grades high suspensions rates. Be careful with this school they do detention hours in the middle of math classes so the boys will be behind on the most important subjects. If your a parent that values your child's education. This isn't the school for your child

Scary. Disheartening. Violent. Just a horribly unsafe campus. The administration will do the bare minimum to protect children from violence, harassment and bullying. They are overwhelmed with these issues and have zero support from the school district.
