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.

Though it was not my best of memories, I am still grateful for the influence this school had on my personality. This school taught me as a young man growing up that not everything in this life will be given to you. That if you want to be successful in life, though it may be seen as a cliche to some individuals, you must work hard and stay focused until you reach your goal. Also that you must work even harder to keep that goal.

Would not recommend this school at all the school safety is not good, I got jumped by 7 girls and hit by 3 boys, they didn't reach out to my mom after this incident took place my sister had to call my mom not to mention the fact that the staff lied and said that they were calling my mom.

I would rate my school a 9 out of 10 just because some kids in that school act like they don’t have a home

This school has been terrible for years...the children are always fighting..I've seen them start a riot at the bus stop and continue it on the bus! I wouldn't send a dog here..let alone my child. I went for a tour and was NOT impressed with what I saw. I've heard such bad comments about this school...
