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.

My child’s first year participating in person. She did virtual learning for preschool the year prior. I was nervous as to how she would adjust. Her teacher and staff made the transition so easy for her and now she loves school! I absolutely love how comfortable they have made my daughter and myself...

This school nurtured my children and even through our divorce they were there in more ways then one for my child and my older child that had moved on. Both of my children remained on honor roll their entire time there.

This is our 2nd year at Sanford and our experience has been great. The teachers are amazing, the office staff are always approachable, inviting and helpful and the principal, Mr. Lieberman is very involved with the students.
