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.

Active PTO. Lot of fun activities for kids throughout the year. Not as diligent in holding students accountable for homework, but overall good teachers, kind, patient. Wish teachers would push kids a tiny bit more , raise standards a tiny bit more ! ( just a bit more)
