GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
Excellent principal & some fine teachers, but I think it could use improvement in areas like: curriculum (seems weak, muddled); overemphasis on standardized tests; lack of PTA/parent "voice"; and counterproductive disciplinary approach (punishing an entire class based on actions of a few students helps nothing). Other options include nearby schools, private schools, online public schools & home school.
