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.

Ms. Spain did such a lovely job! She was so helpful and informative. Thank you for all that you have done to make this an easy and fun process!

This school is a joke! The reverse racism is justified and overlooked out of fear of being accused of being racist. So the issue repeats itself over and over until something serious happens that can’t be undone. And I refuse to wait around for that day.

The rec centers have now gone up to 240$ a month and I now need to pay for before and after care due to the odd time frame ( 3 children) and not helping when they have to transfer to Middle School. They need to change school hours its unacceptable how this is even allowed.
