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 love the community feel at the North Campus and all the teachers have been really great. I have noticed the increase of students in class when volunteering and I can only imagine how stressful that can be for the teachers. I am able to observe this since I have a kindergartner and second grader.
