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.

absolutely terrible! Not just the experiences I have had with the teachers, but the principle as well. I've noticed they are really good at changing the subject instead of answering questions. Problems will get worse with no desire to fix them.

Virginia Heights is an amazing elementary school. The teaching staff is supportive and eager to assist the children as needed. They get the children actively involved in learning to where it is fun for them.
