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.

It was good. I would like the administration to be a little bit better. And the teachers are so good.

The majority of the teachers that I had while I was a student here were very sweet and helpful. My favorite teacher was Ms. Dipalo she really understood her students and respected us for being different. A lot of the teachers were helpful with slower students.

When I went to school here, there were two nurses. One was very rude and always thought a student was faking sick. Once, I went to the nurse because I was nauseous and she sent me back to class. I threw up in the restroom and eventually went home. The newer nurse was more caring and if a girl had cramps, she would get a heating pad and a 30- minute nap which was very considerate because I get horrible cramps.

After many attempts to work with this school and my child getting in trouble for sticking up for herself, the school wasn't, she was assaulted and the video was posted on social media. Once I brought it to the schools attention they smirked a...
