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.

I went to this school when Dr. Landeau was still principal. He's probably been there for decades, and we were one of the few blue ribbon schools during my senior year. Only complaints during my time there are the school being dirty and old, and the cafeteria food being gross, but that's very common among schools in the city. Ever since he left, the place seems to be slowly degrading, with bad administration and racial incidents.

I like how in this school many of the teachers are always finding ways to support students to learn and to be interested in learning, however I think this school do lack in club amounts, but overall the school facility encourages students to learn in an positive enviorment.

This school is definitely overrated but the teachers are nice. They have a nice courtyard where students can have recess. The recourses aren't damaged and we use laptops regularly. Some cons are, the food is very unappetizing, there are some fights, the boys locker room is not that clean and there are not enough gym periods during the week.

I once had a fellow peer of mine constantly throw food in my direction during lunch, and it became incredibly bothersome, yet none of the staff ever did anything about the situation. Yet, when...

Students here are unruly, disrespectful, and completely undisciplined!! The school staff don’t enforce punishments where punishments are due, so the students just go wild! Do NOT send your kids here, I personally would never recommend this school to ANYONE!!!
