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.

My two kids have been here since 1st grade. They had wonderful teachers, and we are truly thankful for all their support and involvement. School has a great communication with the parents, and there's an amazing parent involvement, PTA is very active and they run so many engaging events that my kids look forward to. My daughters thrived in this school and made great friendships. We feel lucky that they were able to attend this school.
