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 love Rena Elementary! My child looks forward to going each and every day. The teachers and staff are respectful and positive towards students and parents. I love attending school and parent events to see what my child is learning and doing at school. My child has learned so much and I feel like she is more than prepared to go on to the next grade level.
