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.

Dr. Kohlfield is probably the worst administrator at any public school in the state of Missouri, better hope your kid is white, or else.

Good teachers, disrespectful and very unprofessional principal. Had to take my children out of this school due to Kohlfield harassment. Will NEVER send them here again. My children are more happier and doing so much better academically at their new school.
