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.

We love Clear Springs. Our teachers have been wonderful. The support staff are amazing and really understand kids and their development. They have been great for our neurodivergent kids. Our kids felt loved and cared for. Their academic needs (both accelerated and needing extra support) were met. The teachers seem happy, which says a lot.
