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.

There is no school nurse and there is very little done to protect the kids when they are bullied. A number of children have actually left the school for this very reason. They are more concerned with which family could provide them with more "donations" than the actual children. The school has not been very clean on various occassions. My child brought home his lunch box and it smelled horrible. When I asked him what happened he said he put it in the bin they were told to put their lunch boxes in. Apparently someone's lunch box leaked and no one took the time to clean it. So the smell soaked into his box and I had to buy a new one. There is one boy in the class who has accidents and the teacher lets him sit in it all day.
