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.

Last year in 2019 i experienced really bad things, through out the three years in hell, kids after school would go to the park right next to the school and smoke marihuana, also the other times the deli would sell vapes to underage kids. I didn't wanna believe this when my kids told me that the students in school have made a gang related to crips, and i asked myself how is this possible, but the next the i pick up my kid from the school, and once he got in my car, he was terrified. Overall do not register you're kids in this school because he/she will experience gang violence, and drug dealers in the school

This school is Ok...Not the best, Not the worst. Teachers are good and some are really bad. This school has a lot of racist. Some student are bad and does anything to get you in trouble. If you get them mad. Really Unfair and not equal. Overall, Some stuff about this school was good.

Overall, this school is pretty good, except for some teachers who like to yell at students. What I find unacceptable is the school security guy. He is a very rude person and disrespectful to others.

Teachers are very energetic, engaging and caring. Students are challenged to discuss and answer questions in small groups or through class participation. Lessons are well prepared by the teachers and very organized.
