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.

We’ve had a great experience at Hamasaki! The teachers are caring and the staff is supportive. The school is welcoming and really focused on helping kids grow. The school does a lot to make learning fun and maintaining academic levels high. We’ve had 4 of our kids go there. We definitely recommend.
