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.

It was pretty decent besides the way they chose to discipline and handle situations. They definitely are the one to pick sides even if you inform them of who started. You would be the one to get blame when you're trying to make sure drama doesn't occur

The Howard school has a great community of underprivileged, and impeccable individuals. The staff of the Howard school is truly exceptional, and their passions for student success is unlike any other school I have seen. The diversity of the student body appreciates the value of the student experience exponentially. As a teacher at this school, I learned far more than I ever taught.

I am a parent but am in school for Elem Education. I am interested in student teaching here so I have been starting basic research on the school. I was wondering if anyone can shed light on why they have a 51% suspension rate for students with disabilities.... I find that concerning.

The leadership is awesome and goes beyond the call of duty to support the staff and students. I am a Retired Educator and served as an Interventionist for the Transition Academy at Bethlehem Center.
