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.

We really wanted this school to work and were there for four years but they did not provide the support or assistance to my child at school. My child was recently diagnosed with Autism at an older age and the school missed it. My child is almost 2 years behind in math and writing because the school did not provide the support needed to be successful nor did they make us aware that my child was struggling. Now my child hates school and has a low self-esteem. Be careful if you choose to go to this school and make sure you advocate for your child and that they are keeping up in the academic because the teachers won't tell you.

There are definitely some things at this school that NEED to be fixed. Not talking about some male teachers that are very suspicious, and acting like MAPs(pedos). Be very careful if you want to send your child to this school. Bullying is a very big problem at this school, too.

Teachers get to know their students well. Kids are not rushed in to academics too quickly. (More and more studies are showing that reading, writing, and math too soon are not beneficial) Good educational opportunities for parents on how to support waldorf education at home. My children love going to...
