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.

Terrible school, they're going more harsher by the day. They brought back the dress code which is sexist, they've removed backpacks. The school sucks.

Out in a suburban setting where the bear occasionally stops bye to join in the gym class. The classes are a nice size with 20 - 25 students in an average class. There are teams in different colors that work with the students. So, the red team will consist of a math, social studies, science and language arts teacher that works with about 100 kids of the 300 enrolled. It provides a more personalized one on one interaction between teachers and students and makes sure that no child is left behind in the system. The music program consists of a 6th. grade choir, 7-8th. grade choir, band, orchestra and various after school activities related to the music field such as chorale, jazz band, wind ensemble and steel drums.

This school is filled with a violent and racist student culture. Staff and school administration are incompetent on bullying matters. I would not recommend sending your kids to this horribly unsafe school.

I echo what most of the reviews here say. Some individual teachers were wonderful and academics was a positive part of this school. The environment was toxic though. Student behavior was severely out of control, students were not as carefully supervised as they should have been, and expectations wer...
