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 first day day their was very confusing you had to go to the bottom floor just to return to the top floor. The teachers were very kind and assertive about their teaching but it was making friends or talking to anyone but as the year went along I got better at communication and making friends but their were people that would only talk to me just to have more friends. But the best thing that did happen was when my parents enrolled me into wrap that's where I met a lot of my friends that had the same interest as me. As the final year was approaching the ability to mature was more prominent as people who didn't like me began to tolerate me and became some of my good friends. I will never forget what I learned their with the amazing teachers that let me stay in there classrooms at lunch and the people that I met. It got me launched at thinking about college and helped me have a starting point I met a couple of different people but not being able to talk to everyone.

It is very stressful, students are very rough. Very little learning, mostly socializing, going on here. Students move around in their assigned seats. I felt bad for some students that wanted to learn.
