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 drama club and the terrible after school program are the only real extracurricular activities. Both are expensive and cannot accommodate many students. The drama club is not for every child or every grade. The school seriously lacks in extracurricular activities it definitely needs to do better in this area.

The school board does absolutely nothing for this school to help it. For every great teacher there are two bad ones. If there are problems and you as a parent try and get answers the school administration directs you to the school board. They can't seem to fix internal problems on their own and blame everything on the school board.

I live a block away and with all the ridiculous taxes I pay, I find it concerning why this school is not soaring into...
