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 has a great atmosphere that encourages success for the students and staff at all levels. I work for this campus and thoroughly have enjoyed every moment being here. The students are very engaged in learning and growing at the younger ages the students are even submitting entries to the science fair and going to competitions at region level. The older students are involved in programs that help them to grow as leaders and further their experiences in secondary schools and beyond. Students and staff alike have great communication and make learning a fun experience daily.
