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 school is incredibly disappointing. The classrooms are outdated, overcrowded, and lack basic resources. Many of the teachers seem disengaged, and the administration is unresponsive and difficult to reach. Extracurricular activities are limited and poorly organized, and the cafeteria food is subpar. Overall, it's a frustrating environment with little focus on student success. Would not recommend.

As a school that educated Ruth Bader Ginsburg, I was definitely expecting more out of the school and its teachers. Unfortunately, there is no honor and glory to be found here. Stay as far away as possible.
