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.

Ok. If your child is a robot, they might love it here. There is SO much social bullying and the administration refuses to admit it or even look at the possibility that their "perfect, little school" might have a problem! The teachers blame any issues on the kid who is being harrassed and, when a parent gives suggestions, they dismiss it entirely! The kids cliquish and exclude other kids, as early as 1st grade... and it's because of what's modeled for them a home! Watch out if you're an older or younger parent or if you become a single parent... you will have a scarlet letter from the word go! You'll either be ignored right away or the other parents will back off of you, as soon as they decide that you're not a good fit! I thought this junk was supposed to end after high school!!! I guess the parents never made it out... and the kids likely won't either!

The school itself with the help of the amazing teachers is a great school for any kid in the area. My kids love their teachers. But I feel that the politics within the school and those in charge cloud many of what they teach their students. There have been incidents with disgruntled parents and some...
