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 can say it's the best because I really don't know. I don't want to come off as boastful, but my children have never really required discipline beyond being told to stop talking when they're not supposed to. I guess I'm blessed, but I know that there are children who do get into trouble at school. As far as I know, the matters are ALWAYS addressed, and the principal and staff really do listen and address all concerns.

My daughter transfers here towards the end of the school year and she was welcomed with open arms by all staff. She was able to jump right in academically and her teacher made sure the class was having fun while learning!
