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 absolutely loved my time in the school, the class I was in stayed about the same all my years and therefore we got to know each other really well, the teachers were extremely kind, and the garden was a wonderful, one of a kind experience, I don't usually leave reviews, but I can't stand seeing this at one star.

My daughter just graduated from this school, and got into bay academy. This is an amazing school with excellent teachers, and staff that work with you, and always make time to speak to you. My daughter learned so much in this school, and we will definitely miss it.

This school is the absolute best. The teachers and principal always tries to keep the parents informed and to reach out to parents with flyers and all. They have a great garden program and still have the arts. My children love it.
