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 cafeteria does not provide options for students with allergies or religious restrictions. However, the school on the whole is extremely inclusive to those of different backgrounds and needs.

Teachers were always friendly, knowledgeable and available to answer questions and help in any way possible. I would not change anything.
