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.

We are 5 weeks into the school year and I have had to call or be at the school twice a week, because they won't control the children. My daughter is being bullied by different girls every week. They teach these kids not to bully, but show them nothing will be done when they do.
