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 school used to be for 1st and 2nd grade only but they recently just made it a 1st - 5th grade campus. They adjusted well I believe to the change and didn't make my son ( who was going into 4th) feel like he was at a "baby school". He had great teachers and got to do really fun stuff like Mini cities. I think the teachers and the principles tried hard to make them feel like they were the big kids of the school and rewarded them for being so.

This is a great school. Teachers are wonderful and the my kids always are doing something fun. The school is older so there are some cosmetic needs on the inside... but I think thats more of a district budget thing. Overall, A+ in my book.

The aides are not there because they have to be, rather they ar...

My sons first teacher last year was horrible. She called and sent me very rude messages about my son and would embarrass him in front of the class as "discipline" all in the first week. I set up a meeting with the principal and his teacher for that Friday and took my mother since she is a teacher to...
