If you are an English learner, have an IEP or 504 plan, then you will like this school. I’m not sure why the rating reflects that more resources should be allocated toward disadvantaged children. This district spends a lot more money catching kids up then they do on kids without special needs. If you have an above average, self motivated or quick learning child, you may want to look for a school district that can offer more. In particular, I was shocked at what passed for “A” work in language arts. I’m glad the district went remote because it gave me a chance to see how underprepared my child would have been before reaching high school.

The inclusion of the "equity" score in this rating is absurd. One group of students is underachieving and they are recipients of high levels of administration and teacher time, along with other support resources and services designed to close that gap. In no way are they being under-served. Great Schools should take time to learn more about this issue -- or come up with a better model to score schools on this issue.

During my 2.5 years of experience dealing with the administration and the special services team at the school, I've learned that they are more interested in generating documentation then the accommodations for the kids with special needs. They tend to make multiple careless mistakes, promises they are not able to keep, and push and intimidate the parents who are not willing to follow their recommendations.
