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.

I've had kids at ASFL (Pre-K - 1st Grade) for three years now. I would say that it has a great atmosphere for the kids to learn. Teachers communicate quickly and effectively. My kids get up in the morning and are happy to go to school. Love ASFL!
