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.

Barely any clubs/activities, put in a really bad area of Laurel, and a horrible budget and PTA.

This school made my life ten times worse but I'm glad to be out and have survived it.

It's an okay school...the students are really mean and they say a lot of inappropriate things. Overall the school/teachers are fine but some of the students make the experience worse.
