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.

Pearson Elementary has a great interim principal that harbors great staff relations and promotes staff mental health. Teachers have to supply their own paperor PTO fund raises for it. There are many things told to staff that are never followed through with or lack, very much like the curriculum. The amazing staff comes and and pour their heart and souls into their students and try to make Pearson better but everything falls short when it comes to staffing and administration.
