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.

This school is just great but one thing. The teachers and students are very disrespectful. I used to go here and when I went the teachers would say things back handed or 2 sided all the time. And threw petty undertones with it. And the students have so much tension yet never a fight whic I do thank...
