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 daughter is at the end of her 7th grade year and has had a wonderful experience. She has had terrific teachers and enjoyed the music and theater programs. The other students I have met are academically motivated and well behaved. We have been very impressed with Margaret B. Pollard.
