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.

Child in first grade at the Mendell and thriving. Academics in the younger grades (which is all I can speak to) are excellent. This will undoubtably show up in test scores at the grade 3 point. Warm classrooms with student teacher ratio of 11:1. Thriving ARTS and science opportunities with a new outdoor classroom which has received national notice. Strong principal and multiple outside partnerships. The after school program is very well run (in conjunction with the Y). Won a "hidden gem" award from BPS. Facilities older and small school but that has positives as well as negatives. Lots of activities
