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.

This school is great. My child has been here for around 7 years and just finished her 5th grade graduation today. My daughter has learned so much these past few years and the teachers are very kind. The front office is also very helpful and friendly. I hope your child has the opportunity to go here.

THIS SCHOOL IS AMAZING AND I LOVE IT. The teachers are so caring and teach well, and they are so nice and fun. All the teachers are amazing but especially the AGP teachers are great. I’ve been here for multiple years and I’ve been treated so well here and is the best school.

We've had two girls come up through TPE and it was consistenly positive experience for both. We've had nothing but good teachers and a few truly excellent teachers. For us, all the teachers we've had cared and we're available for discussion regularly.We have a child that is emotionally pretty fragil...
