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.

While we love Ms. Elisha and the office staff, plus most of the teachers. We are very disappointed that there is not any kind of after school programs. Not everyone has family or friends to watch their kids while they have to work till 5 or 6 at night.
