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 am a student climate staff worker. Tasks are very simple just make sure the children aren't harming eachother. However I have had hands put on me so many times by the students both male and females. They make up lies when you no longer want to give them snacks or a dollar to buy a treat. The school I work at is terrible. The children are unbearable. They can hit you, spit on you, call you out your name, and throw food at you and there are no consequences for them. I will be resigning soon. I do not need the constant headaches.

My child said this school gives great equal rights and provides great education. Any child that may attend this school will be in great safety and hands in general. I believe that every child should go to this school, because it's clean and has very nice teachers.
