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 is horrible I got yelled at for simply trying to get my water bottle because I was very thirsty after gym and then I got sent to the principals office for the entire lunch period. The academics are worse too insane amount of work. You have to write a timed writing essay within a hour every 2 weeks and every week you take about 4 quizzes and 2 tests. The teacher's don't teach properly and all they care about is what you get on your Njsla for funding.
