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.

Test scores are now passing. Students are supported and challenged. UIL, Destination Imagination, and TAG are just a few examples of great programs offered at this neighborhood school. Facilities are excellent and the school garden is a wonderful resource.
