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.

My son is only in Pre-K, but I am very grateful for this school. There is always something going on to keep parents engaged. There are always performances. My son has went on several field trips and love both his teachers Mrs. Alexander and Mrs Parker.

Overall, we are pleased with Deerwood from Ms. Perry and her team, to the teachers we have had for the past 5 years. Our son has shown growth each year in his academics, in his social, and emotional learning, and he is well-prepared for middle school.

Please find another place for your child if you can by all means , buy a home in another location. Sent my son her for Pre-K teacher was the worst. As these kids are in a early development stage they do not want to take the time and actually TEACH the kids. The teacher refused to communicate with me...

I enrolled my son in KG last year 2015 and it was a horrible first experience from the Administrators front office stand point. Registration was a nightmare and Ms. Morrison was so rude to me. The sad thing is my son was so excited about starting big boy school and she ruined that experience for him...
