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 loved the wonderful teachers and the classes. I'm now a high school senior but when I was at Shields it was amazing. The classes were fun and the teachers are nice but stern when necessary. The children are relatively respectful and kind to one another and the teachers. The school staff were always helpful and considerate of everyone, even the children and parents.
