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 attended this elementary school since the first grade. The teachers, staff, and officers were amazing, and very involved within the school. The counselor helped me find a lot of academic opportunities, as well as helping me connect with the community. I have a lot of great memories here, and I hope to see the school prosper.
