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.

Poorly-paid instructors with poor attitudes towards students locked in by tenure and contracts. Bad facilities, poor disciplinary programs, not well funded.

I would say it is an average school in terms of health and safety. The school is surrounded by a fence and the only entry point is the front of the school unless someone were to try and jump the fence. However there are security gaurds often looking towards the fences to make sure no one attempts that.

My stepdaughter went to this school for 7th grade. Had an awful experience. Was bullied and nothing was done about it. Sounds like it happens a lot and nothing is done. She said kids are smoking and way too much PDA going on among the kids! Never again will she step foot in that school. She’s lives...

I would not recommend this school as a workplace or to parents. That said, there are few alternatives. If your child says there is a problem, believe them.
