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.

We have been pleasantly surprised by the high quality of teaching and concern for empathy in the children, after transferring here from Santa Cruz Waldorf School.

My daughter loves it. As summer approachs she will cry herself to sleep because the school year is almost over. The teachers are attentive and aware of each kids needs and do their best to support each and every one of their learning needs.
