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.

There’s a teacher there in the special ed program that called my son a f***ng fata** , I’m sure that’s real nice for a 5th grader to go through. They need cameras in the classroom with audio. We can’t trust anyone with our babies anymore. I am livid.
