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.

10 stars! I'm very pleased by the education my daughter is getting. We love the administrators and teachers that we've gotten to know over the past 3 years. I'm shocked by the low rating and can't understand where the 4/10 rating is coming from. Phelps Luck is a 10/10 in my opinion.
