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.

This school allows bully’s and then punishes a child for standing up for themselves. A teacher watched a kid walk into her class stalking and trying to fight another kid and did absolutely nothing to help the kid that was in her class trying to get away.
