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.

I had three children in this school for several years. I moved as soon as I could afford to. One child was above his benchmarks when he started school. By the time we moved (3 years later) they wanted to hold him back. He has now been in a new school district for 3 years. This school district did not accept that he was to be held back and put him on into the next grade. He is now doing really well. Another child was bullied for a year and a half and all the school wanted to do was punish my son be removing him from the classroom and away from his friends. As a result of that bullying he started bullying other children including his younger brother. Now three years after we moved to the new school district this son is a A student involved in several extra curricular activities and has stopped bullying that he has witnessed.

My daughter only spent her first year of kindergarten at Mcguffey and then we had to move. I really wish I could have just packed up the staff and her bus driver and brought them with us.
