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 have gone to this school since kindergarten and it was an over all good experience. It is a small school so the grades only have about 60 kids in them, so everyone becomes friends at the end. There almost no bullying, and all of the kids have everyone else's back. The teachers really prepare us for high school, and if we don't understand something, we can get one on one time with them. I would definitely recommend sending your kid to school here especially if you are worried about them getting bullied.
