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 have thrived under the direction of teachers who have taught at this school. However, students makes it hard to stay focus and remain on track. The students at this school took away my confident to set a solid foundation for a good learning path. Most of the kids did not developed a true love for learning. The school offers art and music, but there's not many clubs to keep students more engaged in. I wouldn't recommend coming to this school for high-school because it drains the life and energy out of you.

I loved it. I've been there since 6th grade so I basically grew up with the school. The staff and teachers are really kind and love what they are doing. I like that my school does so much activity and really bring the grades together when doing spirit week.

I worked in the school office. There's not as many parents involved as there should be but a lot of them support their own child in some way or another
