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.

For an elementary school they have quite a few extracurricular activities. They have an orchestra that starts in 4th grade, choir, after school art classes, after school care, the music teacher was offering piano lessons at one point, they send home notes on how to join various sports, they have a daddy/daughter dance once a year, a mother/son softball game, and they have a garden they let the children sign up to take care of.
