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.

This is an awesome school with great family values! Teachers have gone the extra mile to ensure that my child, who struggled with & hated reading, not only made it to grade level but that he also found confidence & joy in it . (Thank you Mrs. St. Pierre) He is now reading like an expert and loves it...
