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.

This was a excellent school. The elementary school prepared me well for middle school. The teachers challenged me and taught me comfortable ways to learn. the environment was safe. They will do anything to help you succeed. However, i dont know much about the special needs curriculum. But overall public schools dont do much of a great job helping students with learning disabilities.

This school is terrible. No real leadership. They turn a blind eyes to the kids that are bullied and instead the school staff screams at the kids constantly. The kids are out of control as well.
