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 daughter is currently in Kindergarten at Edwin Markham. Having been given a bad reputation, I was wary of enrolling her in the Spanish Immergent Program that is only available at Markham. I have been so impressed with the teachers, parents, and even the success of the students at this school. At Markham everyone is family, helping each other out in times of need and willing to volunteer their free time. My daughter loves going to school and learning Spanish in the SPICE program.

This school deserves a much higher ran...
