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.

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.

Our child did not find this to be a safe and inclusive school. Not by peers or her own second grade teacher.

The diversity score is too high. Mostly white, conservative and Christian populace that does not show inclusivity in their town or their schools. Our child did not receive an inclusive and safe experience while attending this school, not from her peers or her teacher.

My child had a bad experience in her second grade classroom. There is a second grade teacher that treats minorities like second class citizens. She is condescending and routinely ignores these students and she holds them to a different behavioral standard. She needs to be fired.

My two kids currently attend this school and love it. The facility is beautiful, the teachers are warm and engaging, and the families we have met are kind and welcoming.

The ranking of this school and the test proficiency rates is getting poorer year by year. The diversity is increasing, which is good. However, the bullying is getting worse.

Lack of diversity and inclusion. Test scores should be better for a DGRA school. Not competitive with other schools in the county.
