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.

The principal, most teachers and the office staff are care for students. Great academic standard and has diversity. Competitive atmosphere but not too much. Walk-a-thon, Music concerts, Dance Fest and Multi culture event are fun.

High achieving school which can lead to some competition between students/families. Hard to pin all of that on the school - as it often comes from home. There are some high quality teachers here who are some of the best I've come across. Some great community nights - Multicultural Night, Dance Fest,...

I see a huge improvement ever since the new principal came in, more structure was introduced and she's friendly, understanding and effective. The students need to be more accountable for homework not being completed though, but I feel that's the parents' responsibility.

Some teachers yell if the kids could not complete the task correctly instead of helping and encouraging. They don't even try to solve the bullying problems. Principal is very nice and kind but should watch closely on the behavior of teacher towards students inside the class.
