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.

I give Chrysler 5 stars the school was small, intimate, & encouraging with my student. She flourished here. Everyone was a positive influence from the custodial staff, latchkey, secretary, to the kitchen staff. I LOVED this school & ALL the STAFF.

My daughterwill be in 5th grade and Chrysler and if by some miracle 6-8th grades were added, I'd be ecstatic!!! I enjoy the fact that the school isn't large and the students and parents all know one another. My daughter learning experience has been wonderful and she enjoys attending school.
