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.

This school has horrible diversity. White students tend to discriminate colored students. The school staffs do not care and let that happen among students. The reading and math teaching are not advanced at all.. Colored students felt alone and treated very bad by other students here. Do not send your kids there if you are not white.

I started my elementary education at Harriet Bishop and then I went to Bamber for 2nd grade onward. I'm so thankful that I had the opportunity to go there and everyday I hope that the school has the same effect on many other students.
