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 would rate lower but that would be an overstatement I personally don't have anything against the school but if you think about going DO NOT TAKE ART the teacher is a sassy disrespectful and deceitful.Take theater its more welcoming the teachers are better its way more like an elective than a class unlike Art.The teacher is Shelly Breaux shes inviting kind sweet for the first 2-3 weeks but after the deadline to switch classes is up GAME OVER.
