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 went to Garveys from fifth grade through eighth grade graduation, and then continue my education at Taft high school My experience is Garvey was very good. I made special friends that I've had even up to this date. The teachers were for the most part, attentive, and taught their students appropriately I was wondering if there was anyway there was a registry book for my year I went there. Well I graduated in 1966 a ledger of students such as a yearbook that I could look up some old friends and if anyone reads this to my dear friend from school all the way up to now just passed away. Her name is Sandie Olsen.

Pretty bad. If it wasn’t the only CPS school in the area, I would take my child out. Also, they require a mandatory $75 fee that they claim is for supplies etc, yet make your child bring their own school supplies. When you bring your kids supplies they get taken away and thrown into a pile for all k...
