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.

From what I have heard and seen is that students get punished accordingly to their actions. And most don't make the same mistakes.

The majority of our school is very intelligent, it's impressive and very difficult to try to keep up.

The resources at the school are amazing. The library opens one hour before school for those who don't has computers of printers so they can do their projects and assignments. Also students have access to the library almost anytime throughout the day. Plus many parts of my school are great and maintained well.

I despise this school. The racism is a culture here. The faculty know about it Ava tears it like oh it’s kids being kids. Worse school ever! Definitely filing law suit!

Staff is ill-equipped to deal with children with special needs. They do not follow plans established during ARD. They simply call parents or suspend children because they are not trained. Children are left without support and do not learn. If your children are atypical learners, DO NOT send them to...

Ms. Gwen Graham, Choir Goddess, has helped my daughter blossom. She has my eternal gratitude for setting my daughter's voice free.
