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 have taught in Diagonal for 5 years now and I really like the small setting. I can connect with students and parents more easily than in a larger district. Also, the teachers and the staff really pull together to help the students and each other.

The community and school togetherness gives all students a feeling of belonging. Small class sizes assure that talented teachers meet the unique individual needs of each student. A great place to grow up!
