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.

I was very undecided with so many choices of where to send my first child. After researching, visiting and comparing, I found that DME had everything I was looking for plus it had a homey, caring feel. I liked that I didn't get the sense that they were just trying to push my child a grade ahead of where he was supposed to be age wise but that they really cared about their curriculum and helping kids be successful.
