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 went to Worcester Arts Magnet School for my entire kindergarten through 6th grade experience, and it was amazing. The staff were great, with one or two exceptions, and they really did encourage kids to be creative, learn, and socialize. Some of the best parts of the year were doing school plays, although the winter showcase was a bit stressful due to the dance teacher, who has since retired and been replaced. The teachers as a whole were great with kids, and taught very well.
