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'm a fifth grader at McDougle Elementary and I feel like the teachers need to give the kids a little bit more freedom. Also the teachers yell at you sometimes if you're not doing what you're asked.

They spend a month talking about a subject that we already know, and you don't learn anything new.
