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 school building itself is okay. Not much to see. The staff and students are very one sided and tend to lean more into people they get along with. The teachers have no respect for the students and most of them don't teach you anyways. I would definitely like to see a lot change.

The school used to be good but then things started going completely down hill. There has been waytoo many fights, students are constantly disrupting class and vandalizing school property. They always let the students get away with anything. DO NOT send your child to this school.

If you can, please choice another school for your child. This school use to be amazing when it first opened however over the years it has declined. The admin and the teachers are great however when it comes to discipline and overall care for the children their hands are tied. No locks on lockers so...
