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.

While majority of staff highlight the negative aspects of the school, there are a handful who genuinely care. In my past two years of attendance, I have found a few individuals who are advocates for my future success. However, there is a new principal this year and he seems to have made improvements to the environment.

Please don’t send your child to this school. This school is a playground for the teachers they are rude and act like it’s a problem when ask about your child. This school needs to be replaced with teachers who cares.

If you look at the reviews posted by the students, you can see how well they are being taught. This school does not have a lot of math and science classes. So if you want a school that reinfo...
