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 child has been attending this school since kindergarten, and I can say that they have been very supportive, both academically and socio-emotional development, as he thrives as a scholar. The administrative staff and teachers are very welcoming and offer an array of supports, whatever the need may...
