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.

The staff here works so hard every day. The school has a great cultural dynamic. The school is very close and acts as a family.

Weeden Elementary is a school that embraces everyone as they are right when they walk in. The teachers at Weeden exemplify how much they care and love their students on a daily basis through their actions, words, and enthusiasm for what they are teaching. The administration at Weeden is the same, they care for the students and faculty like they are their own family. Each time I have walked into the doors of Weeden Elementary I enter and leave with a smile on my face.

I love that there is diversity in this school. It helps children to grow up understanding how other people live and how other people want to be treated. :) Awesome that there is only about 13 students to each teacher, also.
