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 am honestly not sure what to compare it to. I don't care for the grading system or common core but it's the same everywhere at the moment so in accepting that I can't really say if the academics here are better or worse than other places except for the overall test scores. Scores indicate academics are good. My son is doing well but I don't like how common core math after 1st grade requires so much wasted time and energy on showing work instead of old school work (carrying). I like the emphasis on reading but I also miss cursive.

There is 0 tolerance for bullying. The teachers and principal are on top of it. So far so good.

Unfortunately, the administration at this school is incapable and inadequate in all areas - from a lack of communication, not taking bullying seriously, and being completely contradicted by the district. Example - we get 2 emails from the district (one last week) saying there are "concerns" about ou...

The academics are extremely lacking and disappointing. Not enough staff or resources.
