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.

W.H. Taylor school has changed my life. I went to that school for 1,2,3 grade and all these years I created amazing memories. All the teachers and staff there gave me so many memories that will forever be in my heart. I'm now in 7th grade , and I have made it this far because I had such a amazing school like W.H. Taylor teach me. I honestly wish I could go back to that school because it was such a wonderful place that felt like home. I cant wait to go back there soon and meet my teachers and staff again because they changed my life in ways they would never know .

Our children have very different personalities and both were challenged an...
