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.

We have had at least one child at this school for 10 years and counting. It has always been amazing. The staff in every area are all incredible people who believe in what they do and love their students. I am so thankful we attend such a wonderful school.

We’ve been really happy here so far. I’m amazed to read some of the other comments, as all the parents I know at the school seem very satisfied.

The school forced adhd medication on my son even though I did not want him on those drugs. Despite being shown a court drawn parenting plan they still administered medication to him every day. Also have no respect for Christian values and strongly push the lgbtq agenda.
