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 community was extremely friendly, and I made lots of friends. The teachers are very kind, and I feel like I learned a lot. They came up with fun, and entertaining ways to teach, and we had exciting projects to work on. I am sad to leave, but I feel future students will enjoy this school too.
