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 made many friends and had great teachers who definately cared for the students. I liked the activities that were offered after and during school. There were close friendships with teachers and staff and everyone got along. Some changes that can occur is the restrictions on students who did not follow shool procedures. The consequences should be harsh so that the students will not be tempted to skip classes and set them on the track.

It's a really good school, (I would say) because they do a lot of activities, the have homework help classes, they have after school tutoring. It's a really helpful school. I was doing really bad in elementary but now (in 7th soon to be 8th) I'm doing really good :) I really do recommend this school...
