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.

The school is in a fairly safe neighborhood. Most students are well provided for so those that come from low income households are often looked down upon and may be bullied. There are also instances of overweight students getting bullied by the more popular groups of people.

Everything is very average. The school building has been recently redone so it is in very good condition. Technology is utilized in every classroom. The guidance counselors are helpful but do not always give the best advice. Tutoring is available through peer tutoring.

Our child who loves school, did not have a good 7th grade experience here. Leadership lacks effective supervision of students, which leads to problems, and teachers struggle to connect with students. If your child is not an athlete, there are not many opportunities to connect with others. A sense of...
