    ABOUT GREATSCHOOLS RATINGS

    GreatSchools ratings are based on a comparison of test results for all schools in the state, ranging from 1 (below average) to 10 (above average). Ratings reflect test scores, student progress, and college readiness where applicable. Ratings are a helpful starting point but should be considered alongside school visits, community feedback, and your family's specific needs.
