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 curriculum is great,but the way the teacher speak to the students is demeaning and affects there self esteem. I have 3 kids and my last 2 will not be entering this school . I recommend Rocketship or Lead elementary. Teachers yell at students and they treat the kids like adults. Yelling at them which, is not necessary to get your point across. I wouldn't be surprise if they shut the school down . My child has attended this school since it started... Never again.
