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 teachers have been phenomenal. They have gone out of their way to make sure that my children succeed. Admins do everything they can to make sure that the children are safe during drop-off and pick-up.

Strong guidelines that are enforced but broad enough to still allow individual expression. Principal and vice principal both visible and very involved with students on daily basis.

My daughter has been going to this school for two years. So far they can’t seem to get my email correct for regular updates. And this year my daughters teacher has regular crying breakdowns during class.
