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.

My kid loves school, feels safe and is connected and supported by his teachers and all staff. The school has lots of fun activities and a strong PTO. Would 10/10 recommend. This school also has high expectations and takes safety seriously.
