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.

While the school is very diverse, the children are segregated. Most of the children of color are not in the gifted program, which is predominately white. Knowing that children of color are just as smart as white children, something is terribly wrong here. Only "the gifted" children can take a foreign language and are essentially given a head start in academic success.
