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.

PRESis a wonderful and safe school filled with caring and impactful teachers. If you have the time, I recommend volunteering to be the room parent. Most of all I love how involved the PTSA is. All three of my children have flourished here.

School tends to focus more on the 5% of top-performing students. Good to average performers are not as valued.

This year's (2017-18) third grade curriculum is extremely subpar. Very disappointed in the administration, teaching materials, and the fact that my daughter is not being challenged enough. Also, I have received very little feedback or communication from the teachers and administration.

This is an average school when it comes to teachers effectiveness. Teachers need more training on helping each student meet their needs and not teaching in the middle. Teaching in the middle is an outdated approach.
