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 provides ZERO support to their children. The teachers are disorganized and terrible. My child went here for a year and was bullied and what did the teachers do? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Do not bring your child here if you care for them.
