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.

As with any school, there are those that are great at their jobs and want to be there, and those that are there just for a paycheck. Thank you to the teachers and admin that helped and guided our family, and let us know their doors were still open if needed; even after we left the school.
