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.

Based on the test scores--i would do a 1 month trial FIRST. Based on reviews I would back up that 1 month furthermore. Based on teacher ratio: still would consider 1 month trial. Based on school rating I would downgrade to a 3 week trial.
