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.

We had an excellent group of athletes in all sports during my years at this school. Everyone was very involved in the games and showed a lot support. We were very competitive at every sporting event.

There was a huge ethnic diversity which is a good thing. I will say that the cliques at the school were pretty bad. If you were in sports, you were friends with the jocks. If you were in band, your friends were people in band. I do remember a few fights because this was our first year of middle school, and majority of the elementary schools were combined at Yucca Middle School.
