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.

Marya Yates Elementary School was the best school I attended. The school have nice teachers and a support system when kids are in need of special attention or going through things. The best part of the school is the way kids would treat each other with respect and love. I enjoyed every part of the school. The learning process was very helpful. The teachers were very open minded about helping kids that couldn't get the information as fast as some others. They helped you with some skills you didn't have before.

Having access to my child’s homework & school work via the internet would allow one to see daily where their child stand in class. It would also keep parents alert on whether their child is falling behind. Parents...
