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've always felt safe here and there really aren't any problems with bullying. Sure there is the occasional fight, just like any other school, but I've never had to worry. All the teachers are friendly, but I think the school needs to incorporate more time for education.
