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.

Please post when track hours are allowed. It is the only safe place nearby that I like to walk at, being a traveler. Was not trying to cause any alarm.

Lots of bulling that had no punishment even after principal was told, teachers sucked and I barely learned anything. Food was not good either.

This school is dirty, the teachers are mean and the kids are rude and I would never send my children here.

Two out of 4 of my kids attended there, plus I worked there a few years. The test scores are higher than normal, but the school is definitely doing many things right which cannot be reflected in a test.
