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 teachers are fantastic and effectively come up with new innovative ways to teach the students and appeal to their learning types. While the administration displays a focus on academia , there is also a growing care for the overall health of students.

I love how diverse the student life is at my school. Everyone is understanding of each other and loves to learn about different cultures. However, teachers are quite lazy and you can tell they come to school for just the money. Only two teachers are phenomenal but the rest are lazy and not passionate about teaching.
