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.

They just don't know how to treat people that doesn't look like them. It's unfortunate. The location is horrendous and the traffic backing up work commuter's doesn't help either. Overall it isn't a personal experience.

They lack diversity and integrity. Every review that isn’t appealing is always deleted. It’s all wrong.

Great school. The principal and teachers are very involved and closely work with the parents. Mr. Martin the principal has been very proactive and closely works with the parents & teachers. So far my daughter has had great experience.

Coming from abroad (Europe) i was anxious about the schools in USA. I am more than happy from Waterloo. My child doesn't speak English but he has all the attention he needs. The students with the help of all teachers and staff are doing their BEST.
