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.

Not enough Physical activities like PE. My son's score not improving. Teacher not cooperating with parents how to improve child's score. School bus is delayed often and no notification from school. Nothing happens when you complain to school. Moving out my son from the school after a year.
