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.

The curriculum is very good here, some schools don't challenge kids enough and aren't creative with their work, but this school is. You would have no problems placing your child here. Great school

I am a middle schooler in this school. I think the teachers and everyone is great. Just the food and the safety need to be improved.

The teachers actions towards students should change. I graduated this school in 2013 and was a victim of bullying and this school has done nothing but promote a poster that says a bully free zone when in reality it wasn't. This school should definitely do better and hope it does.
