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.

Hi I am a parent and I have to say this school is awesome. I love the way that the class sizes are small and the children get lots of one on one time.. My daughter is striving in this school, and making great progress. I applaud the staff for a job well done.
