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.

Im a middle school student here and here is my thoughts. my grade definitely love music and Spanish because they are so fun and we get a lot of freedom during music class. All of the classrooms are very nicely air conditioned and we also have L.E.D.S which I really like. The teachers are also super friendly and welcoming. The school lunch is super mid but I love the peaches and the milk which are both super good. And I have to say the kids here are so much different from public schools I have made friends with everyone and the kids are all really kind. But there are bullies here and there but the teachers definitely wont put up with there behaviour. The only downside is 6th grade science which I have and the teacher isn't great and it gets boring a lot and bring a sweatshirt because the science room is really cold

I am a past student of this school and it is horrible. The school doesn't teach how to take a test and going into a different high school, I struggled with this. While I was at the school, so many of the students were racist, offensive, and disrespectful to people of color. The school is very suppor...

(This review is going to be coming from someone who has gone through all 4 years at the middle school and 1 year at the high school so most of what I’m going to say may not apply to the high school here) If you want to go to a school where teachers actually get to know you, you get a lot of hands on...

We’ve been extremely happy. Are there things we don’t like? Sure. But our kids are happy and engaged, which is half the battle. Interested families should visit the school, take a tour, and speak with other parents to decide if it’s a good fit.
