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.

Incredible team of teachers and administrators. Even with a hybrid start to the year, my daughter was ecstatic about her teachers in comparison with her previous elementary school. Over the course of the year she learned so much and made close friendships. An incredible outcome for a challenging year due to the team of professionals at Fiske and LPS
