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 feel at home at Lester. We're always encouraged to be involved at the school and in the classroom whenever is convenient for our schedules. It seems after one year there the whole staff knows us personally. I never felt judged here like I did at our other school were I felt ostracized.
