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.

Staff and principal are amazing. My child has attended this school for over 3 years. The teachers are well qualified and go above and beyond to educate their students. Lots of programs available including arts, drama, music and Spanish. Before and after school care programs and extra curricular activities available.

This school is the best! The staff is amazing and I am thrilled with the education my kids receive. My children are challenged but supported. My children are given academic rigor mixed with amazing arts experiences. Can't believe this is a public school!
