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.

A few of the teachers teach the student (instead of the class as a whole) and they are spectacular. The remaining teachers do not. The school does not support gifted/talented students. Administration has lied about my child's abilities in order to refuse supporting him. It is unfortunate and frustrating.

Schools are much more than test scores or numbers, and our experience with two kids from k to 6 showed it was also a very caring and compassionate community. Our kids always looked forward to school and we found that they were well prepared for middle school.
