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.

My daughter went to Kindergarten and 1st grade so far. She had great teachers in both years and haven't had any issues with friends and faculties. They have four special programs in 1st grade that rotate daily. The school district provides free breakfast and lunch that are fair in quality. They provide chromebooks to students which is loaded with many educational programs (and games) that motivates my child to spend time daily to study. Commute is busy but not out-of control as some other schools are. Overall great elementary school.

Kindergarten teachers are wonderful. High expectations for children and the school staff and office are very organized.

Last year alone, the teacher managed to leave my son outside at dismissal alone with out supervision, and once in the class...
