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 enjoyed the teachers commitment to the success of students and emotional support. Acceptance of the diversity within the student body could be improved. Bullying could be improved. Principal could be replaced. Extra curricular activities and classes that revolve around the arts are essential for the success of this school as the community is very driven by creative minds and should not be cut from the budget.
