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.

Matt Arthur has become a second home for my children. The administration knows the children's names and welcomes them every single day. Parents are always welcome in the building and in the classroom. Both of my children are reading above grade level and I credit that to their incredible teachers. These teachers truly care about their students and work tirelessly to help them achieve their goals.
