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.

Private school feel and located in a safe community, this school sets the bar high in educational standards and student performance. My daughter is proud to be a student of this school and remains very involved in all activities. She is excelling academically, socially well-rounded, and disciplined - kudos to the dedicated teachers, principal, and vice principal, and the rest of the PRCS family.

This is an amazing school. It feels almost like a semi-private institution. The KDLP program is particularly valuable, as it allows kids to learn dual languages and progress quickly compared to other classes. Parents are also deeply involved in the school programs, showing a lot of passion.
