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.

My daughter's class has 28 children and only 1 teacher. It makes it impossible for children to receive the attention needed to grow and learn. You can tell teachers are trying the best they can but administrators are creating "efficiencies" at the expense of the kids education. It's extremely frustrating as a parent since the kids still have to take the annual state exam. Given such a large class and little attention it's scary not to know if your kid will pass.
