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.

Bullying runs rampant here and is not dealt properly. My son who has an excellent academic record hates the school and delighted that we are moving. Great PTO but do not feel that a child is safe from bullying as we tried to talk to the principal and etc but nothing is ever done.
