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.

New to this school and have only been in the area for a year, very happy with SMMS. Talked to several moms that had students go through this school and all great reviews & experiences. Teachers are great & my student is doing well and had a positive transition to middle school.
