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.

I agree with the previous reviewer that the principal is not worthy of being a principal. As far as I can find online, as of the school's last review in 2015 of their audit done in 2013, she also still wasn't certified to be a principal. She blatantly lied to me to protect the school's image while not giving me the info I need to protect my children. I do not trust her. On a positive note, my children liked their teachers for the 4 months they were there.

I didn’t have many learning opportunities like higher level cl...

Grandson has been in this school for many years with on and off success. This past year however has been the worst. He is one of the virtual students. His teacher has bullied him on more that one occasion. It got to the point that he hated school even though he was home and on his laptop. The princi...
