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.

It wasn't that good the principal is very biase and doesnt handle certain situations very professionally. The teacher will gossip a lot in the hallways and aren't very professional at all.

Its ok but is made more complicated then it already is.. Wasting money on new ipads every other year when we could just stay with the ones that we have. They feed small amounts of food now then they used to. More strict rules that makes no sense at all.

The serving staff is friendly and they try to do their best to make sure everyone is fed. The menu is not my favorite I normally don't eat the schools lunches. From other students I have heard that some of the meal choices are good like the chilli, while others are not so good like the barbecue pork patties. They do have the option of recieving a salad if you don't want the main meal, but other than that there is not much of a choice.
