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.

With one child in her last year, and a another getting started, PES has become the perfect home away from home for our family. The support our children receive from teachers and administrators is beyond our expectations. The PES performing arts program has offered our child so many wonderful opportunities and fostered so much growth. There is truly no better place to be in Miami-Dade county.
