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.

Guy E. Rowe School may not look like some of the new and improved elementary schools, but the teachers and staff certainly make up for the old building and wear and tear. The environment is friendly and inviting and they are extremely supportive of ALL students (even ones who are a little quirky like mine :)). Thank you, Guy E. Rowe, for all you do.

This school caters to the handicapped... which is wonderful in itself but there are SO many that the "typically developing" children don't get the attention they need. This school also caters to the well known, higher mucky mucks. The biggest thing is that bullies are not dealt with and it leaves ch...
