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 Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

I think that our school is great when it comes to students of diversity. We treat people the same, everybody knows everybody, and are more then likely friends with everyone. I don't believe there is a lot of peer pressure and many students are involved in multiple activities, but then you have the few that aren't involved in anything.

I believe our school is very safe and I never showed up to school not feeling safe. There was almost always a nurse on staff at the school and we were able to see her whenever we felt like we needed to without a question.

Some teachers go out of there way for students and are willing to help the students with whatever they need as long as the student is willing to learn and some don't really care for the students.
by far the most awful school i’ve ever been to. i have NEVER seen kids and teachers have no respect for anyone around them. i am disappointed and disgusted by the staff at this school. the counselor isn’t even a counselor she couldn’t care at all about what your going through.
Experience was terrible. The school is not driven to help kids excel. There is a lot of harassment and bullying going on that the school knew about and they did nothing about it.
