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.

They do not offer anything outside the required academics. They do not communicate well within the school much less with the community and parents. They do not offer music or art classes. Lunches are awful. 80% of students bring lunch from home. Kindergarten and 5th grade are served same portion sizes. The school is very old is always undergoing repairs.
