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.

nothing but issues at another school district but when we moved here we found out this school is better and handles bulling like a whip, I have daily communication with the teachers about grades and behavior.

Nightmare. I had to quit my job to homeschool my son to help him catch up academically. My son is now at a new school where he is getting good grades but most importantly, he is supported and he is happy.

Dedicated and caring staff led by an innovative principal who works tirelessly to improve a challenging population. Both my sons go to PGK and I wouldn't want them going anywhere else!
