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.

Our daughter attended this school for two years and we are so happy that she started her education here. Her teachers were so kind and supportive and helped her to learn and grow in confidence. A military move forces our leaving and we are all unhappy about it. Thank you Carter Lake for a great two...
