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.

I'm currently in sixth grade and went to the Mendell up until third grade. My brother is currently a fourth grade student there. I absolutely loved my time at the Mendell and constantly regret leaving for the advanced work class at another school. The teachers were so nice and supportive but still pushed me to high standards. They also supported those students who were struggling and made sure they understood the lessons. One example would be my friend who had dislexia and transferred to the Mendell at the beginning of second grade. The teacher was able to help her get from way below the ELA reading standards to above the standard despite her insistence that she couldn't read. There is also lots of parent AND student involvement which creates a great school environment.
