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.

The school was built in the mid 70's and has had at least one addition since then. The school is clean and inviting. The students have abundant learning space and resources.

My student has an opportunity to participate in the student jobs program, the battle of the books program, the student choir program. There are several other things offered that do not interest him. Overall I think the school does an excellent job of providing opportunities for elementary students.
