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.

What I like about priest is that it has a large land for kids to play and run around and with a park and a big soccer field. It very diverse with latinos/as, African Americans, arabics, and white. What change in priest is that they gotten more strict about grades and academics. Elementary Students take tests to see what level and grade they are and if they pass they can pass ro the next grade for next year. Every grade has 2-3 classes with 20 to 40 students.
