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.

The Byron CUSD is well funded via taxes paid from the local nuclear plant. This school offers a private school feel (setting) with the price of a public school.The CUSD staff is top notch - they CARE about their students. They staff (from the Superintendent down) puts the needs of the students first...

This District is well funded, has great administrators, small classrooms, well rounded with art, music, language, and gym still. Added to a far above average community in terms of safety and quality of life, there is no better place to send your child.
