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.

Loved the talent categories. The school felt fairly large. I liked the selection of courses offered to the students - there were many options, from robotics classes, to dance classes.

Would not recommend sending your child here unless you are okay with them getting beat by an entire mob of students on the bus. Definitely not the gifted and talented here
