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.

Between 2 children who have attended this school so far, I've worked with 11 different teachers and several paras and support staff.

One can see that they care about their students.
