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.

Hammond has great teachers and so many cool opportunities - First Lego League for 5th graders, Math Bowl, Choir, and after school programs like Bricks for Kids. I work full time but still snagged an early volunteering spot in the library and it's just a lovely, tight-knit school community that I love being a part of. My daughter will be finishing 5th this year and has been in the school since Kindergarten, and it's been a wonderful journey.

Disturbing culture of force against children with disabilities, and extreme misunderstanding of mental health issues in children.
