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.

It is unfortunate that teachers have to submit positive reviews of this school in order to drown out negative reviews. I suspect there have been several new negative experiences that have motivated more parents to come forward. Be cautioned. Most of the recent positive reviews are from teachers in an effort to improve the rating of this school. Look deeper into google reviews for true experiences that accurately reflect the environment your children would be in. Nicole Jones is not a good elementary level director. The leveled learning is amazing but the environment is not.

Excellent teachers and a very involved director. The history emphasis includes integration with other subjects making it very conducive to great retention of learning.

Please be so careful considering this school. The administration is toxic and openly verbally abuses her teachers and staff, which could explain why twelve of them left last year. Teachers are afraid to come forward with their concerns for fear of repercussions from administration. The school board...

My daughter has gone to this school for 4 years as a special education student. The administration does not have these children’s best interests in mind when making decisions, they are under staffed and the staff they do have (after firing the most amazing SpEd teacher that made that entire departme...
