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.

We are finishing up our 6th year at South Loop Elementary School. My son has loved every single one of his teachers (and so have I)! He is performing very well, has a solid respectful friend group, and is extremely happy. I don’t think anything can top that!!
