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.

We have loved all of our teachers. The new technology is amazing and the remodeled campus is very nice. Our kids are lucky to have such a modernized campus. We came from a private school in the area and are happy we made the decision to move to Peterson.

Peterson is an amazing school. The Gate program is top notch. We’ve been at our neighborhood school for ten years and we love it. My kids were over prepared for middle school. In fact, the program at a Peterson was much more rigorous than the curriculum at the middle school.
