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 am a teacher at Alice Ponder Elementary. We have an amazing group of teachers and students. Our staff is more like a family than a group of coworkers. I have worked at other schools, and nothing compares to Ponder. It is great!

Both of my children attend Alice Ponder Elementary. My husband and I have been very pleased with their education. The staff is friendly and seem to genuinely care about students individual needs. It's a fun and warm atmosphere.

My boys' teachers love, challenge, and encourage them in every area of their lives. The entire staff at Ponder puts kids first and partners with the parents. The staff works hard to ensure every child succeeds and grows.
