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.

The number of fights my kid gets in is absurd, they are all on camera and no one is ever disciplined. This school is not safe, my kid has choked, felt up and punched in the face in front of staff and nothing happens. I dont call the principal anymore, I call the police. These are assaults and the faculty does not think so.

Scores at this school would indicate that the negative reviews on this sight are way over stated. No place is a panac...
