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.

My son started at Stanton this year and has loved it. The principal is terrific and his teacher is a dream. They have one of the best music programs in the city, the kids are awesome, and I love that they have a really strong community and many of the teachers have been there for years. They have great before and aftercare programs that are free and we love going to the playground on the weekend.
