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 daughter is a 5th grade student and every teacher she's had since Kindergarten has been amazing. Mr. Anderson has to be one of my favorites, he's enthusiasm in teaching and energy is great! The school is definitely on the right track under Mrs. Woods guidance.
