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.

While this school has great programs and has achieved a Grade A with test scores, I have to express my disappointment about their bus services. May daughter has to walk 1.5 miles from her bus stop to home and when she found another bus would drop her 10 minutes from home, she was told if she kept taking it her bus privileges would be suspended. They claim there aren't enough bus drivers.
