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 2 kids going to this school (1st grade and 5th grade) and I have been satisfied since my first child started. They do awards ceremony every quarter and its always great to have the kids get excited and happy to be awarded for their efforts. They also provide free breakfast and lunch everyday....

I have seen teachers go above and beyond to teach their students at this school. They write grants, hold fundraisers, and do whatever it takes to give their students the best resources and community experiences.
