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.

We have 2 kids in this school, and love it. Zillow shows a “7” rating, but it feels like a “10” to us. Both kids enjoy going to school and are thriving. LPCC on-site after school program has been excellent for us too.
