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.

The school is great! My daughter wants to come to school everyday. She loves her teacher (Ms. Patch) very much. She improved significantly in Math and English in one year of Kindergarten. She is eager to be back to the school in next couple weeks! Thank you!
