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.

I have no complains, my daughter attended the school since Kinder. She had wonderful teachers. The only thing is, I wish they had home economics and other fun activities. I believe that is important besides English, & Math and other subjects. But overall, very happy with the school.
