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 have two children enrolled at Birches and they love school. They feel welcome by students and staff and are supported both academically and socially. The small size and community feel ensure that they don't get lost in the shuffle. The school recently went through the first phase of an expansion and the facilities are truly great. The new classrooms look beautiful and we're excited to see what comes next.
