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 teachers and administration are very dedicated and caring. They had several field trips and fun activities for the kids throughout the school year which in addition to the academics creates a good learning environment for kids. There is communication to the parents through the ClassDojo app but it could be improved a bit.
