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.

Horrible!!! If this is what TEXAS schools are all like I would rather homeschool my kids... Disgusting attitudes... There are a few rays of sunshine and they are the coach and the 5th grade art teacher... I pray daily for these people and the life lessons they are teaching these kids... smh

I have two sons in this school. In their old school we never had any problems. We have been here for 3 months and it is just aweful. My oldest son who has always made straight A's is not doing well here. I never see any graded papers at all so I never know how they are doing until I get a report car...

The 5th grade team are a dream. They've taught 2 of my children and these were their favorite years of school. They built up their confidence and learned more than any other year. Ms. Deaton, Mrs. McCorkle and Ms. Burgess show their passion every day.
