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 son has been a student at (Center) O'Block Elementary School since grade K. He's now going into 4th grade and I couldn't be happier with his most recent experiences. He is doing very well academically, is challenged and engaged in his work. His teachers are very responsive and care so much about their kids, it's evident in these reviews. 3rd grade is a tough age and school becomes tougher for the kids, my son's 3rd grade teacher is amazing in what she does. She has made my son a better student overall. This is a great place to raise a family.

Center is an amazing school with such fun activities such as Center Grows 4 You, This school was recognized at a healthy schools event. They really make sure that their students and staff are in a place where they feel safe and welcomed.

My children have lucked out and got placed with great teachers at Center! The principal is my type of leader, stern, straighforward and fair. I hope that the teachers continue to please me this way over the next few years.
