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.

Teachers at this school take the time to know and understand the kids. This is a tough school BUT kids continue to learn and catch up. I understand the scores are low here, but as long as us parents partner with the teachers, we can help our kids have pride in their test scores AND their grades.

My son had Mrs. H for 4th and 5th grade. My son loved her and she cared about his learning. I always felt welcome in her classroom.
