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.

The Principal is the main reason why this School has become so bad. Please get a New Principal that cares about our Kids.

This school is bad walk away if you can. I do not know how this school can get 5 stars on this website. I had 2 children in this school. One both are not trouble makers. But both of them have been pick on for the whole year in the school. And lunch time is like jail time at a prison.
