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.

This school has to be the worst in the system. 1000 characters is not enough to explain to you just how bad this school is. It's dirty, the teachers are sexist, racist, and are constantly yelling and handing out detentions at the littlest stuff. Nothing ever gets fixed. The 7th and 8th grade bathrooms have had no way to dry your hands and have been missing ceiling tiles for the longest time. If you are a parent reading this, please spare your child and do NOT send them to this sorry, noninclusive, uncaring, and not at all respectful excuse for a school.

I got all A's but I had to work very hard for it. I didn't remember material after I would get through the tests though. None of it stuck with me.

Pretty good school. The teachers that I had were very passionate about teaching their curriculums. It's easy to make friends and be in a welcoming community. However, the food that is served during lunch needs to be immediately improved in quality. I think the school would be better off if it gave m...

Unsafe, not enough teachers to monitor students. The classrooms are fine, it’s just the hallways and lunch line are really bad. Average of 1 altercation per day. Would not recommend.

This school was wonderful when my eldest child went through it a few years ago. However since then there is a new principal who does nothing to improve the climate of the school. I’ve seen her as she runs around barking and yelling at students. she is a community member (which I personally think sho...
