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.

We have a good experience, as the staff at Norman Binkley are very good and helpful. Also the teachers are so awesome and much cooperative, always keep us (parents) up-to date with child updates. From time to time we do have a one-one session to get child progress.
