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 am very impressed by the staff at school. I feel like the principal and teachers never get enough credit. Thanks for your hard work and dedication to the students.

the school security measures are okay we have like automatic locks on our school doors so you would have to buzz in. The school nurse is also okay we get transportation to the dentist or doctors if we have an appointment.

Montessori curriculum is amazing, teachers are highly qualified and very effective. My children love their teachers and classmates. Could not be happier to have found our "home."

Excellent experience with the teachers and principal. The staff really care about the students. They care about parents' concerns, too.

If I could give a negative stars, I would. Ms. Reed is a horrible principal for the middle and high school. All she focuses on is the elementary school. AVOID this school at all costs!!!! It is not worth the headache or heartache.

Although I love the community feel of the school and there is a lot of diversity, I've had close to 0 communication from the school (it's almost May). The only time I get information from the school or class is when I request information in writing. LOOP program is great, but bullying seems rampant...
