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.

The teachers really care about and love their students. My daughter has loved her time there. It is such a bright and sunny campus, with lots of windows, 2 playgrounds, a gym/auditorium and a colorful cafeteria with sweet food service staff. Communication from the principal is excellent. Whenever I've had a question, I can email her and she gets right back to me. PTO participation is strong and they work hard to support the teachers and staff. We have had a great experience here.

Mrs. Gaston is amazing. My daughter loves going to school each and every day. She has new things to gush about every afternoon, and says the library is her favorite room in the entire school. My daughter is happy--I'm happy!

Teachers are amazing, facility is beautiful. Terrible leadership. The principal is not personable, not kid friendly, all business. Apparently she's been there forever -clearly time for a change.
