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.

Most of the teachers here are extremely well educated and genuinely care about the students they teach. However, there are many students in each class and they pretty much have to teach to the MCAS test. There's a great wasted opportunity with this approach. There are also a few teachers that shouldn't be teaching children in a classroom. They are absolutely rude and downright mean to children with special needs. Unacceptable.

Supportive, nurturing environment. Kids generally seem well-behaved and there are no graffiti in the hallways. Caring teachers and counselors. Best thing-very poor cell reception bc there is a dearth of cell towers in the area so the kids are not distracted by their cellphones or texting.
