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.

This school is a good school for kids. I just don't like how my friends, tell me about all these fights that they have. It would be a five-star school only if the kids/students there would have better control of themselves. I would really recommend this school for other students. A feel like a little bit more can be improved but, so far this school is great to go to.

I went to this school, and they would blame many students for things that they never did. Also, they are very careless when it comes to protecting the students.
