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.

One of THE WORST schools I've ever encountered! If you want your kids to get an education this one is not it. Kids go to this school to FIGHT not to learn. Immediately withdrew my kids. This is not a safe environment , don't let words fool you. The Staff aren't even fully aware on what goes on here. Very sad
