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.

I'm a previous middle school student, now a senior. I really enjoyed my 8th grade year where I was an office aid I felt really involved and like I could make a difference. I would say that was my best year there. I had generally a good time but there was definitely rude students and staff from time to time. It's a place that you need to watch what you're doing. Being aware is important, if you're kind and value what you're doing you'll be just fine.

Everybody in this school starting with the people in the front desk are kind and helpful. The teachers are great and caring and they see your kid as an indivi...
