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 is disgusting in the bathrooms and people (students) right on the walls with SHARPIE. The teachers are the best they can be. Not all the students are like this but most of them.

Mary Lyon Elementary was the school I attended from kindergarten through 8th grade and I genuinely feel that it prepared me for the higher level of learning I later received at my high school, Lane Tech.

They have a strong Music program. The principal has engaging activities for the students throughout the school year. Parents can volunteer to join the Parents Group. Parents can also volunteer to help teachers out in the classroom. However, they must pass CPS clearance.
