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.

During my time at this school, teachers were not enthusiastic about teaching. In fact, their main concerns were meeting test scores. These teachers would often take their frustrations out on students which was extremely unfair. This is not a safe space for children.

I love sending my kids here. They come home, with the brightest stories to tell. The teachers here are also the best people around. I’ve had 4 kids go through bingham so far, and two more to go. Definitely love this place
