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.

Daughter is leaving this year and I'll miss it. Nice school with nice kids and good solid teachers. Still has an active media center with a librarian which she took full advantage of (unlike most middle schools.) Administrative team is supportive and kind. The only bad thing about the school is the building itself. They will move in a few years, but for now it's all portable classrooms- no real buildings.

Overall good school, however, some of the school's rules are very strict and the IB program & all the homework stress students, a lot.

I am extremely disappointed in what is supposed to be the best middle school in the area. While the school may have many academic accolades and achievements the overall culture is not a good fit for my child or family. Teachers are rude and lack empathy/compassion. Things like too bad so sad is just...
