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.

So glad we moved to the JFK area! This school is top notch!!!! My children love going to school every day and they come home happy. What more could I ask for? Teachers are positive and seem to really love their students. Lots of things going on for my kids to get involved in and the PTO is awesome....
