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.

The leadership at this school is nothing short of awful. There has been a systemic push over time to be overly politically correct, erase any sign of Christian holidays while bullying is overlooked. I can't say enough at how poorly this school is led at the top. The principal should be fired.

The teachers are great, but the school is run by snobby, pretentious administrators.

Until the principal, Jayne Heffron leaves this school, it will never be a great school. Mediocre at best.If only the district would ask why so many families left under her tyrannic rule, they would understand she is nothing but a bully.
