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.

It is an amazing school, the teachers are very loving, inclusive and friendly. Since it is an all-girls school, it is very inclusive, it doesnt just stick to the label. It is inclusive of female identifying women. One problem with the school is the fact that the lack of space is concerning, but its understandable because it is a collocated school.

Although the school doesn't teach about criminal justice, it has an amazing writing program. The school improves every year and become a better version of it's past. Most teachers are amazing, they are helpful as well as approachable. When I first started out in middle school I was new to the country as well as the language but by junior year high school I was able to take an AP Literature class and ace it.

Oh lord, do not send your daughters here. As a teacher (and a not-small person), I felt physically unsafe (there were frequent fights in the halls and classrooms and, in some memorable moments, some gang incidents outside of school. The principal and other administrators did nothing at all to discip...
