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.

The teachers are alright, but many are being laid off due to the lack of students.

Small class sizes, very involved, dedicated teachers.

Our teachers (Ms. McDevitt and Ms. Davidson) appear to be fantastic educators and our children seem to love their time, here. They're learning in leaps and bounds -- and even more import...
