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.

I love Mc Garity, all of my children have attended from kindergarden threw 5th grade and I now have high school children. The teachers and office staff are wonderful. I have never in my 11 years of dealings with Mc Garity have I had any bad thing to say about them.
