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.

This is a very diverse school that prioritizes the safety and education of the students. The teachers are very diver coming from different cultures and backgrounds. The administration is strict but gets down to business and remains consistent.

We got a new principle!! He seems to actually care and is already way better than the old one. The teachers care! It's hard to find that. Many of the teachers are approachable and actually willing to help! The majority of the student body is just chill. Bullying was and is not prominent. Everyone ju...
