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 happened to have some of my best memories with the field trips that we had here, but there are something that this school really needs to buckle down and improve on. I feel as though my education has suffered from the school actions that were mad and I dont think that is good for anyone.
