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.

The 2011-2012 school year has had a wonderful staff starting from the administration down. The students are motivated and enjoying their time at school. Hopefully the school will be able to retain most of the staff members as this school is heading in the right direction.
