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’ve had a couple really great teachers, but overall not a good experience. Serious, persistent issues with bullying with very little done about it. Will likely pull my child from Laura Wilder.

There are a couple of really great teachers here, but this school has lots of issues with kids being bullied by fellow students and staff.
