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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

We have some of the best teachers who make everyone feel safe and welcomed. Our principal and vice principals are all very helpful and do everything they can to make sure our school is amazing and everyone has a good day. Our counselor is one of the sweetest people you'll ever meet. Finally our lunch ladies do their best to make sure all kids are fed and keep a smile on their faces while doing so.
