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 a student at great falls elementary school. it is a good place to make friends. it depends on what teacher you have to gain confidence. i personally recommend a teacher named lily frost. i had her for my teacher before and she is a very good teacher. she is someone you can express your feelings to and is very kind. she will help you with your work if you need help. she is a 3-4 grade teacher, jip (Japanese immersion program). speaking of jip, there is a jip at our school and they teach you Japanese. they had some afterschool programs when there was no covid. the afterschool programs are pretty expensive though. i really recommend this school.
