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.

As a parent, I was able to attend a recent "coffee connection with admin". This was a great experience and I was able to talk with other parents and participate in a fun presentation. They thought of everything and had us do a STEM activity to immerse ourselves in what our kids experience every day....
