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.

The staff is incredibly rude to students and sometimes even parents. They don't know how to care for children with health problems and mental disorders. Some staff are even inappropriate with students as well.

From the teachers to the principal great school all around! Mr. Tyndall is a person I had the pleasure to meet with, that goes above an beyond for the students and really cares about making a difference. I'm very happy my son got to experience his 8th grade here.

So, besides these comments made by teachers years ago, no recent updates? I guess the school either has nothing exeptional to offer or this site is useless.
