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 was extremely unhappy with this school. My child was getting bullied and not enough was being done to address this issue to the point where I had to transfer my child to another school. Teachers were ok.

Many teachers that actually care about students. The guidance counsellor is very kind and will spend the whole Lunch period which you. Students are kind and most teachers can provide one on one help if they can.

It’s a very good school. Teachers are very involved in students progress. They have great musical programs. There are a few fights but that’s expected when children are involved.
