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.

I have two children at this school and could not be happier with their academic progress. They have also made fantastic friends.

My son has only attended last year for Kindergarten. We look forward to many more years here with him and our younger son. Thank you Bowen!
