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.

I have 4 children who have gone/are going to Challenger Elementary School. As a former kindergarten teacher myself, I have very high standards for my own kids' education. From the principal to the teachers, the staff at Challenger are committed, kind, and competent. We love Challenger!
