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 went to Janney Elementary School from Pre-K4 to Fifth Grade and I had a lot of fun. There isn't much importance placed on academics obviously, and looking back it seems like kind of a blur, since I can't really remember what I learned specifically. There were fun field trips though, so that's nice, and I never felt unsafe when I was there. It is in an amazing and safe location, and there are before school and after school childcare programs offered called JAC, which I took part in as long as I could.

The school promotes their liberal views and push them on the children. In general the teachers don't seem invested. I...
