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.

Walking in to the Healey is like entering a small United Nations! The cultural, ethnic and socio-economic diversity of the school is one of its great strengths. My kids have received a rich, full education there. So happy we get to be part of this community!
