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.

If your child is not compliant with every single rule, even in kindergarten when they're still learning, you will be singled out. School seriously lacks diversity as well.

Weird vibe from teachers, principal, and office workers at this school. Rude to parents and horrible at teaching. Seems like everyone is miserable on a daily basis. Always begging for donations, and never enough for them. Poor money management when they get donations.

My soon-to-be 5th grader has been at Poinsettia for 6 years (including TK). We've experienced dedicated teachers and committed students year after year! The average class size is about 25. We love it!
