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.

great school your children will love it here it feels like home! Teachers are nice and you will understand them. If you don't understand a lesson you can come before and after school to ask them for help. If you need to retake a test you can ask the teacher when they have tutoring. Once you go to tutoring you can then retake your test.
