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.

The accountability for students is poor and the staff is complacent. I would not recommend this school to anyone. The Kindergarten class my child was in had 34 students in it. They push parents to apply for the free lunch program even if it is not needed, I'm sure as you have noticed from the review summary there is some 71% of the children on the free or reduced lunch program which takes a big hit out of the budget.
