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 does not care if people are bulling people. when people say their finna get jumped they do nothing about it they just wait till something happens and then the people that did it they get 2 - 3 days suspension there too much drama. the teachers don't care about the students only the money. the bathrooms stink. the locker rooms stink. so much people get away with bullying its not even funny. and the school lunch ain't even that good.
