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.

This really deserves no stars! The staff at Otis is one of the worst admin I have ever spoken with. They know nothing about what is going on in school nor do they care to help out a parent. This school needs to be under investigation!! I will do everything in my power to make sure of it.
