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.

School is nice, they need more office staff to handle the amount of students. Picking up early from school can sometimes takes over 20 minutes. The car rider pick up line is crazy. For the amount of kids that go to school, they should offer more busing. My 3rd grader gets hours of homework every night. Teachers are more focused on testing scores. Overall I do like the school, my kids are doing well and are happy there.
