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 last year was in Spring 2019 and I have been there since Kindergarten. However, my younger sister had a much tougher time there after many excellent teachers left, as well as Bron Gayna Schmidt retiring. The new principal has tried her best, but she needs to get some good teachers in the facility. The food there was okay, but it could be better. It's a great school, but it was better a few years ago.

Teacher is absent all the time . There are standardized testing D.A.I.L.Y. My child who is very inquisitive and curious is quickly losing these very traits. They make kids focus on memorizing and regurgitating "facts" (like "the sun is a medium sized star ") for the test, and that's it. There is no...
