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.

I was very skeptical about the public school system for my youngest child at first. Kate Shepard is in our district and my son was placed there for PreK. We have been at Kate Shepard for three years now going on fourth and it has been the best decision we have ever made for our child. The staff is wonderful and very helpful. My child has grown so much and is doing very well academically. I love the diverse community and how inclusive the school is. The staff and teachers have made us feel very welcomed and special. I love that there is a Deputy that patrols the school and that the front entrance remains locked during the school day. I would love to see the fence around the school finished and closed off by the start of the 24/25 school year. I would absolutely recommend this sweet school to anyone who was on the fence about sending their child to public school.
