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.

Unfortunate to see a 3 rating, as that was not our experience at Jacobs. My son attended there for 4th and 5th grade. The Principal- Mrs. T, The AP- Mrs. Brown, and the Guidance Counselor Extraordinaire- Mrs. Slemaker, were all exceptional.
