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.

Amazing teachers who are very helpful and care about their students. The majority of the students were very kind, however there was also a big chunk of kids at this school who were very bad influences on other students and guidance never did anything to help. Guidance wasnt helpful when kids were bullied, they allowed it to happen.

My son came home asking for money to give to his teacher. I asked him what he was talking about, and he said she gave out food during a movie and he wanted to pay her back. I told him he wasn't allowed to have that particular snack and was upset teachers were handing out food and breaking their own...

They do nothing about bullying. All they do is send you into a room for ''time-out'' or ISS. They don't have proper administration. There already has been 4 fights this year between students. My child does not feel safe at this school.
