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 very bad students and teachers smell like butt and my kid came home crying because her teacher yelled at her for being late to class but he didn't know where the class was and she said she didn't eat because the food was burnt and really greasy overall i think this school is very bad for kids and parents.
