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.

Its just bad. Like, the students constantly bully each other, the teachers don't care, nor do they do anything. there are fights left and right. We have a problem and nobody ever does anything. Some of the teachers are great, like Ms. Rich and Mrs. Beals and Sra Gibson. But others, who I won't name, are pretty awful. Some of them are so hard to take seriously. its not great.

The student athletics are limited due to the fact it is a middle school. Nonetheless students still get involved and cheer their teams on.

I have been in therapy for years trying to get over the damage done to me at this school by my peers and a staff who could not have cared less. Teachers noticed but didn't care or had no way to support students in danger. The wonderful news (sarcasm) is that NONE of those broken policies have change...
