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.

It's a good school the teachers my kids have had the past few years have been great... But the class sizes were too large my oldest daughter was in 4th grade last year and her class had 36 students in it and my youngest daughter had 27 classmates in her kindergarten class that is not a good ratio we need to do better than that.. The teachers can't even divide their attention with that many students..

It is a good school. They do have a new principal which is on top of everything. I had an issue with my daughter. The teacher set up a zoom meeting with the principal. We got some how in an agreement and days later I ask my daughter if the problem was solved and she say yes.
