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.

All of my kids went to this school… thirteen years total… boys and girls. There is plenty of support for kids who have good foundation at home but need a boost in school. We’ve seen two principals and they were both fine administrators and responded promptly to concerns. Good discipline in the class...
