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.

My kids attended this school and I was so happy that they did. The teachers care and give a lot of specialized attention to every student. The school provides a wonderful sense of community and welcomes family involvement. There is a lot of technology in the classrooms and they even offer STEAM opportunities. Very safe and staff always respond quickly...even respond to email on nights and weekends if needed. Never had a bad experience at this school. The school is very clean b/c everyone takes pride in the school.
