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.

Unfortunately, the principal and the teachers are stuck in their ways and will not listen to parents. The only thing that makes this school great is the PTA and the board members. Other than that, there's nothing special about the school. There are other schools in Whitestone and Bayside that rank b...
