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.

The school that I go to is very nice. It is always super clean and kept up very well. Most of the teachers are great teachers and also people, because of them I have grown and learned so much. They make school less overwhelming and are always ready to help when it is needed. My school does a great job of listening to the things parents and students want to change and trying to fix it. My school is also very diverse and we have many different cultures at our school.

They do not consider them equal to typically developed children, and even though in many way there are not, it does not justify the defection and mistreatment of them. often they’ll do everything in their power to avoid special need students. Their testing sc...

The attitude at this school is that of arrogance and lack of support for students. The test results are based on students' self-study and parental guidance and have much less to do with the quality of the instruction. Students are actively discouraged to challenge themselves and are even prevented f...

A very disappointing experience. Our child had special dietary needs and the school/principal was not responsive and did not provide appropriate accomodations. The quality of instruction is also poor with several teachers who pile on mostly rote work without any imagination. Great pressure and tons...
