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.

Maxwell is a good school if you're looking for a smaller school with more one-on-one time with teachers. Each grade has around 25 students so each grade is like a family. Most of our students are bussed in from the neighboring town so snow days and late starts are very common to make sure all students can arrive safely. Its overall a good school.
