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.

The 3 years we have had our children in Countryside Elementary School 2025 will probably be our last. We plan on pulling our children and move them to private school to ensure their education doesn't suffer anymore.

Lots of bullying at this school while the principal and most teachers look the other way. Wealthy children and families are given special treatment. Solid curriculum but that comes from the district not the school.

We really love Countryside and all the offerings for students. Our third child is now at the school and we are enjoying it!
