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.

At first my experience was not good at first due to me being a transfer student and me trying to get all my stuff together, didn't have a iPad till 2 weeks after the first day and didn't have a schedule till the first day of school. But once I got everything I needed my experience was great, I was even on the dance team. I would like for the school be way organized.

I use to work here for a year and then i moved to another school. It's too crowed, and it's sad that you have to bag check and pat down each student that walk through the door. Kids will skip class and hang outside the gym and fool around. Teachers are about the same age as the kids and they let the...
