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 administration runs their own agenda on their own power trip. All they do is pay for school supplies and field trips. They only use technology, and all of my kids are below grade level in all core subjects. They don't believe in using the funds for special education neither.

From the Principal and Assistant principal on down, they have a agenda that won’t be discussed. Your opinions and thoughts will be classified as rants and rhetoric, look elsewhere for education.

My daughter started school here this year and loves it! We’ve had great experiences with her teachers and the principal. I’d encourage interested parents to schedule a tour. My daughter’s eager to go to school in the morning and really enjoys the curriculum as well as facilities.

Extremely liberal school that cared more about politics than science and children during the pandemic. Your kids will be indoctrinated with liberal talking points. Don't put your kids here.
