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.

El Staff es muy servicial. Siempre estuvieron pendiente de las necesidades de mis niños. Me ayudaron bastante en el proceso de evaluacion para clases especiales y en todo momento me llevaron de la mano con ese proceso. Las maestras fueron muy amables con mis niños
