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.

Cliquish, culturally exclusive, lacks diversity. Poor leadership, fake teachers/families no push for inclusion or change.

My kids went through Mill Creek, and we had an amazing experience with the teachers, principals, and staff. The PTA works hard to make sure every student has an enriched education. The community is very supportive of the school, too. Lots of family interaction, adults sharing their careers and time...
