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 am a teacher at this school. 1. Dr. Yigzaw is the Principal. He is quite nice, understanding, and he wears many different hats. 2. The school does lack in the arts. 3. I enjoy and love my students. 4. The population is mostly Somali. 5. I have not seen any white students to the date of 2017.
