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.

Ms. Box is an active & enthusiastic principal. So great with the kids. Mrs. Graves (Kindergarten) is a very traditional teacher & strict with the children for all the right reasons. Remember, the path of your child's education starts at the beginning & start it off right!
