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.

Not happy with this school at all. If your kid enjoys hours of homework than this is the school for you. Also if your child has special needs you can expect to fight constantly with the school for help. We will be pulling our son out of the district this year in hopes of finding a better school.
