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.

Performance scores are low and teacher quality is just not there. The administration is known to turn a blind eye to discrimination by its staff and bullying by student peers despite proclamations that the school is welcoming of diversity.

The school culture is poor. My child was new to the school. Our daughter was harassed daily by another student. Our family spoke with administration and her teacher and nothing was done about it. Eventually, we decided the local private school was better for our child due to the negative experience.

The diversity score is too high. Mostly white, conservative and Christian populace that does not show inclusivity in their town or their schools. Our child did not receive an inclusive and safe experience while attending this school, not from her peers or her teacher.

The ranking of this school and the test proficiency rates is getting poorer year by year. The diversity is increasing, which is good. However, the bullying is getting worse.

Lack of diversity and inclusion. Test scores should be better for a DGRA school. Not competitive with other schools in the county.

Our child did not receive an inclusive experience by her peers or her teacher. Our child is of a different religion than what is the norm for this town.
