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.

Let me give you all a RECENT review for 2023. This school is full of bad kids, bullying, poor leadership, horrible lack on consequences and then some. Falsify and lie on incident reports and fails parents. My 1st grade child has been slapped, punched in her privates, pushed to the ground, and more ! Incidents happening more than once with two kids in particular. I've met other parents with "like" problems.
