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.

The school tries to get technology possible to learn better. The facility are average. College prep is enforced even for the students that can not afford it. The school tries to allow equal opportunity. Tutoring has to be done outside of school. The teachers may recommend someone. Some teachers teach you themselves. They also send parent notices and made websites for them. I really don't know much about busing because most students walk. I know they are able to go in select areas when I think some students can be picked up from there.

We need to have at least to have a day that's not healthy. They are strictly enforcing food nutrition.

The school is very open to different careers so they have the programs to fit them.There are some teachers that act like they dont care. Overall majority of the faculty does car. I like the safeness of the environment. I also like the school is well known so on my resume' my employer will know I am well prepared for my job.

This was my son's first year attending this school and he absolutely loved it. The faculty and staff were very helpful to my son as well as myself. My son adores his teacher and didn't want to leave her. She helped mold my son into an excellent 2nd grader. Thank you so much Mrs. Casaday HDIII

This is the first year for my child at this school and we do not like it at all. I have met several of the staff and teachers but for the most part if you're not the "right" type of person then they turn their noses. It's one of those schools that if you don't fit in then you don't matter. My child...

Our school provides a great learning environment in many ways. Our teachers and administration are awesome. We have great parent participation and an outstanding PTA. Our community is very supportive of all of our school activities. You couldn't ask for a better place to send your children to school...
