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 husband and I grew up in Watertown and now our children are attending Watertown-Mayer Schools. We love that some of the teachers we had are still teaching or some of the teachers are alumni or classmates of ours. We have a really unique community in that a high percentage of approx. 80-90% of teachers live in community and children attend as well. We chose to raise our children in this community because it's a close tight nit community and it takes a village. We also see many alumni have also choose to raise their families and stay in Watertown. Class sizes very reasonable 100-120ish. I would love to see the speech specialist increase in communication and partnering with parents to allow children to succeed. In our opinion this area is in the most need. Many missed sessions and challenges in receiving updates on child's progress.
