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.

There are lots of clubs and after school programs (all though the after school programs aren't very popular). The clubs are kind of care free and lose but people enjoy them and they are weekly events for most clubs. There is the option of band or chorus classes and the band program and teacher are excellent and a highlight for many of the kids who took band in middle school.

Bad school, simply put. Graduated a few years ago but my sister goes there now. Teachers and admin seem to be under the impression that their job is not to teach kids or encourage them to grow or think for themselves but to control a group of misfits who are all only looking to make their lives hard...

Awful. Not a supportive environment for children. Some of the staff are very cruel towards students with learning disabilities. Whatever the opposite of compassion is, some of the teachers have that.
