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.

Squirrel Infestation

Been complaining about the squirrels since we moved in. Everyone has. It’s been 7 months. Problem has only gotten worse. Feeble attempts by staff and maintenance have never made a difference. It’s like no one cares enough. I’m sure they’d have the squirrels removed in their own homes......
