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.

More funding towards anything but sports and the teachers could be treated better. The school has an animal problem with mouses,bats,and roaches but the atmosphere is great. The school energy is great and some of the teachers care about the students' success.
