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.

Excellent community. Lots of parent involvement and volunteer opportunities. We've had kids here for 10 years and it has been a great experience overall with a minor bump here and there.Administration has been great. Majority of teachers here are very vested in student success.
