Administrators and teachers have worked with local law enforcement to update building security throughout the school. Security is monitored by camera at the main office. Faculty with students gain access to the school buildings using a key-code FOB (frequency operated button); all others gain access by using the buzzer system at the front doors. How is the rating for School Incidents calculated? This rating represents the reportable incident count per 100 students. Reported suspensions and expulsions are not factored into the rating for School Incidents. Learn more about GPS ratings methodology here.
