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.

This school is the ABSOLUTE BEST! I bought my house in this area to be sure my daughter could attend this school. They did NOT disappoint.

My son went to Powell from Kindergarten through the 5th grade. Powell deserves it's consistent 9 and 10 out of 10 ratings. The teachers, administration and students are all great. Worth moving into the neighborhood for.

Powell is a good school, however it has become extremely crowed in the past two years! The school has approximately 100 more students than it did 2 years ago. One great thing that has happened is Mrs. Jones is back!
