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.

Now that I am in High School things are better. I can honestly say that if I have a problem I can go to any of my teachers and talk to them about it. There is a lot of extra curricular activities to join and some teacher are very respectful others are already used to the school and act as if they are at home.

Extra-curricular activities involve sport-relating things only. There are hardly any clubs for students to join.

Safety in this school is somewhat okay, and I have never really felt threatened at any time.
