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.

Good school but teachers give to much homework sometimes. A lot of kids have after school activity's and don't have time for all of that.

They need to understand that kids have extracurriculars like a lesson in sports or a performing art.

I feel very safe at my school. A police officer always there when you need him and when you don't, locks on all doors, never really any issue with not feeling secure. Our staff is very trained in what to do in emergencies and they always handle things well.

The teachers and administrators at this school are biased and do not care about their students. They do not respond to emails and communicate poorly. They only care about keeping their reputation, not about helping their students learn.

This school was not a good fit for my child. There are no lockers, the building is old with narrow hallways and not accessible. Many of the teachers push hard for results and their rigid approach takes the fun out of learning.
