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.

They've added metal detectors, refused to punish troublemakers in class, and we don't even have math books anymore. Do yourself a favor and make sure you pick a different school. I've had two kids graduate from here fairly recently and if it had been this bad when we first moved here I would've move...
