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 children received an excellent education in their 6 years of instruction at GBES. This is a community school where students, parents, and staff work together. My children were cared for, educated,and happy. The principal, Mr. Sodano was always very supportive and knew his students well.
