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.

Teachers need start applying themselves and stop expecting to just pass out papers with minimal instruction then add 5 pages of homework to that. No other elementary school in the district has as much homework as these kids for no other reasons the teachers do not want to do more than one sheet in class at a time. TERRIBLE attitudes amongst the teachers as well.
