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.

Administration only cares about perception and scores, not the children. Shoving SOL testing down children's throats is not teaching. Opt out of sols.

Great administration since changes applied. Gained accreditation and continue to improve. My child loves Waterview (name changed.)

Overall the school responds promptly with any concerns. There is somewhat of a lack in organization and planning.

Felt like my child was being picked on by teachers. She was mean and nasty.

The school has such promise if it was under the right administration that cares about the staff and the students.
