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.

It was middle school. It was okay. The teachers and administration are very good at paying attention to the individual needs and qualities of each student. I do think some things could be improved: the bathrooms, the lunch (though I hear that the food is much better than when I was there), the stage (its teensy)... The theater program is run by high-school students - the administration and teachers seem to value good community involvement.
