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.

Our child recently started in the Junior Pre K program and we are already very impressed with the school and program. The 4 teachers seem so warm and interested in getting to know each child. Our kid is excited to go to school each morning. The option of a free pre school has been amazing for our family and we feel very fortunate to have found this friendly community. They even have their own school bus with car seats for the 3 year old class room. They have their own dedicated outdoor space and large classroom.
