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 son has been with the school since kindergarten until now 7th grade. I commend the dedications and hardwork of the staff, teachers and all the leadership teams esp. the principal. I am satisfied of my son's improvement and confidence level. They are doing a great job, from supporting the kids academically, emotionally, mentally and they involve the parent to achieve a common goal for the improvent of our kid's learning. Thankful for them...

I have three student who have all started Namaste since Kindergarten, and my experience every year after that has been nothing but great. I noticed how most faculty could name almost every student. I have always been able to reach out to teachers and get my questions answered.

It is the first year that I am a Namaste and I am the mother of a 4th grade student I found out about Namaste through a newsletter they left as a reference in the office of my child's previous school recommending the school among othersWe decided on Namaste because they have very complete programs for our daughter's education she has autism and the programs they have are very good for her as a diverse learnerMy experience with Namaste has been very positive I see that the teachers complement their students very well and the Directors are very attentive to any concerns that we as parents have about our children I would recommend Namaste as a school for any parent because of the patience they give to the children when teaching I see that the teachers are observant of any setbacks they may have and willing to find solutions to best support the students and familiesMy daughter likes the school she enters and leaves happythe school is not close to my neighborhood but it is worth the distanc

This school provides students with disabilities the support and accommodations they require. Teachers at this school are respectful, and supportive, and motivate their students to learn. The school also welcomes and includes families as partners in their children's learning

Strong school community. Consistently great teachers who treat students as individuals and really work hard to support them academically, emotionally, and socially. Extended school day with an hour of movement each day along with before and after school options.
