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 the very worse School my kids have ever been to, we moved from California (state) where the School had over 700 students and never once was my child hit, kicked, or pushed down so hard she slid and had scrapes down her back.

I had a child that attended this school for several years & in my opinion & my son's opinion this is the worst school in Columbia, Mo. My son has special needs & they saw him as a "Problem", instead of as a "Challenge". Boo on this school!
