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.

My son started going to this school this year and his grades are awesome. He loves the school and all his teachers. Before we moved he hated going to school and everything about it. Now he loves going to school and never wants to miss a day!! They get five stars from me.
