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.

These two things may be more of a district-level change that needs to be addressed.

My daughter has been at oars for 4th and is now finishing up 5th. It’s been a great experience for her, she enjoys going to school and spending time with her friend group. The teachers are supportive and communicative, and truly care about the kids.
