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'd be nice to see the teachers get more involved with all of the students. Even students who excel academically need help sometimes. The staff should also try harder to control student behavior. The principal tries, but nothing big ever changes. Overall, being an 8th grader, my experience here is average. It's not a bad school, but it could use some changes.
