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 kids are having a wonderful experience here. The teachers are happy to be there, the school is clean, the principal is really involved. My son has speech therapy and the improvement since coming here is noticable. Both of my kids love going to school. What more can you ask for?
