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 is great. Some room for improvement (I would love to see more STEM focus and some homework) but overall the school and staff is amazing.

Great school, great staff, great principal! I've seen nothing but consistent student achievement. My daughter has really benefited from Mrs. Stoddard the speech therapist and Mrs. Scheiss, the counselor.

This school has been a wonderful place to educate my children. Everything from lessons, activities, teachers, staff, the principal, and safety have been above and beyond what we have hoped for. Keep it up JR Smith Elementary!
