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.

Really wonderful staff there and very supportive regarding the needs for our son. Very proactive. We have just moved here from Hoboken and love the location of Madison as well as the community. The teachers call us before school starts and asks us about our kids. I love the principal as well. Mr. Liss is fantastic with the kids. You can see how much they want them to succeed.
