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 enjoyed attending this school for middle because the school felt very modern and was very technology based as STEM is really an importance part of this school and it is demonstrated throughout the school in areas such as the campus itself and how teachers teach. I also appreciated how all the teachers really care and show their support and desire to help the students learn.

There are only a couple of athletic activities in our school since it's just a middle school. I have participated in our after school basketball team and we were an ok group in our league. Everyone of my friends joined the team and even though we didn't win all of our games, we all had fun and motivated each other.

They have a zero tolerance policy on bullying which they actually enforce. The two times my son had a physical bullying incidence, it was handled promptly and app...
