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.

Family oriented, the faculty really cares about their students and you can see that, they dont just put on a "show". My children love it and they are exceeding and where my children have some problems the teachers take time to make sure they understand or get them the help they need. Their pre-K count program is awesome. I just couldn't be any happier with the school.

Unfortunately my 9 year old has learning problems, especially with Math. I was told that she is "below average, but not enough to get help". She was barely over an F in Mat...
