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.

The teachers are incredible. The love the have for the children is very apparent every day. The school is older and could use some modern touches. We live outside the district and request a voucher just to attend this school. The Girls on the Run program is run by loving wonderful women who are a true blessing to the young girls.

Great Principal and staff! I have met the principal and several of the teachers. Each of them have been extremely kind every time I have visited the school. I have also been very impressed by witnessing their interaction with the children as well as by how well behaved the kids were when I was there...
