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.

This School has too many problems! Fights breaking out and teachers getting assaulted and only giving a 2 day suspension, kids just seem to roam around the halls and teachers do nothing about it when these kids should be in class! The foul language I hear coming out of some of the students as young...

I don't know why this school has a rating of 3, i would give it a 20! All the staff is exceptional, all the teachers are amazing and caring! The best teachers and school i have ever seen! We were considering moving to a different state due to personal reasons but i am very disappointed at the school...

My children loved attending this school. All the teachers were so friendly and attentive. The principal is very attentive also and is always there to answer questions.

I believe someone is posting false positive reviews to boost the rating. Come on, four reviews with five stars all written on September 9th. I am giving it two stars from my child's experience there.
