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.

This school is not very good for students. There is very frequent bullying and misconduct behavior on campus, most of which are reported to faculty who will not do anything. The weed problem in the bathrooms are terrible too and every year there is one student who's pregnant. This school should be shut down..

As a parent, I do not think you should take your kids there. The teachers are really bad and my child cannot focus because of the other students. PLEASE do NOT take your child to this school.
