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.

Our family loves the school. The teachers have been great with our children. We are so glad that we decided to move when the kids were younger to get them into this school system.

My son is part of a program in new haven called open choice, we loved the school so much that we purchased a condo in Bradford to ensure he could continue going this upcoming school year, and that his brother can start with him next year. The teachers and staff were fantastic handling the pandemic.
