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 did not like the school that much their was not lots of diversity the majority of the school was white with only a few black kids and only two black teachers the teachers were very disrespectful to me when I went to the school from 4th to 8th grade and they always single out one other teacher because all of the students loved her they excluded her from our last field trip to disney and many other trips from what I have heard they always judge her at meetings and I dont like it I think that these following teachers should be fired: Eden Stein, Ms Toni and Ms Behn I reccomend avoiding them.
