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 would like to see a change in the school lunches. Diversity and should also be worked on to create a more inclusive and accepting school.

The teachers and administration are very polite and always inspire students to strive for greatness and to work hard. The opportunities presented to us by administration are very valuable and students always know that they have role models to lean on and look up to when they need it.

This is the worst school I have ever been to. They do nothing about the bullying. Even the bullies hate being at school. If you are a parent and are considering this school, listen to all the reviews like mine and don’t send your kid here. I could write paragraphs about how bad my experience has bee...

The majority of the teachers that I dealt with as a parent were not sticking to the curriculum that was set forth at the beginning of the year. At one point, both of my children came home and told me that for the past two weeks they had both done nothing but watch movies in class. Me thinking it was...
