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.

My kid started in grade 1 this year through the dual immersion program. I was nervous about sending him their but he loves it! He was well prepared for this challenge. He is AA but he loves Spanish. So we tried it out. He attended private school before transferring and it has helped him academically. Now he is working to excel in Spanish.
