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.

I attended this school from pre-k through 5th grade and it was an amazing experience for me and my parents. The staff and parent coordinator are very qualified to get parents any information they need to help their child learn. Afterschool programs at PS11 are second to none. There is everything from sports to performing arts and even afterschool tutoring for those students who need extra help in their studies.

This school embraces all of its students and rejects G&T for a small cohort of students und...
