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.

McWillie is a terrible school. The administrators and teachers yell at the students and teachers often hit the students on the back of their head and bottoms. They line the kids up and make them watch old television shows rather than real learning. After pre-K, they just do worksheets. This is not a Montessori school even though it claims to be one. And, they do not focus on reading and completely ignore math. Just look at the scores.
