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.

Big ridge elementary is probably the best school I’ve ever been to. You learn but also have fun. Especially if ur in Ms.Fulmer’s and Ms.Ciprani’s class. The teachers make parents feel welcome and excited. I haven’t heard or seen any bullying in this school so that’s good news.
