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.

would not recommend this school my child is due to start Kindergarten we live in the community. My wife is disabled and terminally ill and cant walk my daughter to and from school. I called the school to see if the handy cap bus could be used to assist us as if already picks up other kids in our community. I was told no unfortunately I work 60 miles away and cant do this myself. I guess my daughter will miss out on school this year. The woman I spoke to a Dolby was very rude
