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.

This school is terrible. There are too many administrators with zero experience who think they can bully students themselves. There are children who are there to learn but they can't because the school and their teachers are too wrapped up in giving the kids who need discipline candy and screen time...

Homeschooling would be a better option....but it's the babysitter aspect that drives the school

We have been very pleased with Avery Parson's for the last 2 years. But with any school, too many parents rely solely on the school for their child's success. A child's success in ANY school really depends on parental involvement.
