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.

It is not a bad school overall. We have great school spirit for the most part throughout the school and students are generally interactive with their teachers. However, sports are paid most of the attention, while the arts and academic achievements are usually overlooked.

My experience at Paxton School has been phenomenal. The teachers are very understanding, if you are trying your best and still having some problems they will sit down with you one on one and resolve your misunderstandings. Other staff including janitors and counselors are also very kind. Paxton's expectations are set high and are met without fail due to the staff and our principle.
