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.

I believe that the school needs to educate their personnel when to report child abuse cases due to the repercussions that could affect the parents negatively in case of misjudgment by the reporter and also when to recognize " RED FLAGS" and avoid to make poor judgement calls to child protective services. yes the school has a lot at stake but the school should consider all the aspects . shame on them for feeling pressured to jump to conclusion knowing that my child statement was baseless and the my kids are living the best life, going to three cruises and going to 10 countries before age 8. let it make sense

As an English teacher, I am dismayed by the criticisms (such as a "stiff Principal" or "parrent") that are so...
