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.

Significant improvements needed. While there are some more experienced staff members, overall the staff is young and inexperienced. Lower standards for students. If a student is capable of an A they are willing to accept a C. Educating to get the best of a student is not a priority. Barely passing is as seen as success. Unwilling to invest in success of the child.
