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 terrible. The teachers are rude. Trust me never ever take your kids to this horrible school the hot lunches give my kid food poisoning comes home, throwing up every day and now he's starves his self because it's so disgusting. I am very disappointed in the school they make it seem like a good school but they aren't all they care about the grades. They want my kid to get these excellent grades he stresses so much coming home crying and he is only in first grade. Trust me never go to the school.
