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.

My son has been at Banks from k-5th. My son and I have been happy with all of his teachers. They are helpful, caring and welcome parental involvment. My son has been successful and he is now in AIG classes. I hate that we must transfer to another school.
