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.

No le hagan mal a sus hijos. Mi hijo sufre constantemente bullying, cero intención de identificar agresores,las cámaras nunca permiten identificarlos. Hay unos buenos profesores pero suelen huir pronto de este colegio. Nunca confíen en una profesora que lleve mucho tiempo en el colegio y que te ofrezca ayudar con el bullying a tu hijo. No esperes un trato justo de parte de la escuela hacia ti como padre, todo lo quieren manejar en secreto y protegerán a más no poder a los agresores.

The entire district has good policies and the officer in the school does help. The officer interacts with the students and gets to know them, the entire staff does. When something happens it is handled right away and we don't always know about it. Bullying is not tolerated and once informed the staff handles it right away.

First, we have this most annoying sub for our P....

They have been gone for 2 weeks now and have not been in put back. And in one of the bathrooms there...
