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.

I always brag about how much my daughter accomplished in kindergarten where most others learned in 3rd or 4th grade. Its not chaotic while walking the halls and the classrooms have students fully engaged. Teachers have been there for 10 to 20+ years which says a lot about the culture. I recommend James Irwin to anyone I talk to or looking to teach.
