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.

I enjoyed the family atmosphere, everyone was welcome and appreciated. If you needed help in any way you know you had someone to go to for that help, and no matter what someone would be able to help you. The teachers care about their students, and take extra time out of their day to make sure the students are taken care of.
