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 daughter has attended Blackwell K-5 and we are sad to leave! She is well prepared for middle school and has had the best teachers! The faculty and staff all care about the success of each and every child. Blackwell is a family! The PTA and Blackwell Foundation are also doing amazing things!
