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.

Went to school here until 2013. Mrs. Johnson was the best teacher I could have, the teacher that I still remember in college. Life was pretty good in this elementary school my memories mostly consist of after school day care, bill nye the science guy, any art projects, the crush I had, all the after school program teachers and P.E time.
