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 an excellent teaching staff at Katherine. The PTA is awesome. The principal and staff work together to making learning fun. They also work together to resolve issues to make our school great. I have been a part of this community for over 15 years and have had a wonderful experience.
