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 went here from k-6 grade It was amazing, im now in 8th grade and go to northeast middle school in parkway. The school has changed now like Its only k-3 I think so its diffrent. But when I went there the teachers were amazing and I loved being a dragon the food was not good though, sometimes but yeah the food needs a big upgrade other then that very little fights when I went. There was alot of drama but people were held acountable for what they did. The Administration could have been a bit better but they did there best and Made mt exprience great with teachers I'll never forget. And academics were alot pretty good. It wasnt diverse but the school is in a black comunity so what do you expect.

As a new teacher at this school, I would have to state that this school is a community. Dr. Lewis brings education to the levels of the students and holds them responsible for their actions. There are improvements that could be made, but parent involvement would be the best medicine for this school....
