About GreatSchools Ratings
GreatSchools ratings are designed to
be a starting point to help parents
compare schools, and should not be
the only factor used in selecting the
right school for your family. Historically,
GreatSchools ratings have been based solely
on a comparison of standardized test results
for all schools in a given state.
As of September 2017, GreatSchools
ratings also incorporate additional
information, when available, such as
college readiness, academic progress,
advanced courses, equity, discipline and
attendance data. Learn more Disclaimer:
School attendance zone boundaries are
provided by a third party and subject to
change. Check with the applicable school
district prior to making a decision based
on these boundaries. In addition, school
data is obtained from a third party vendor
and not guaranteed to be accurate, up to date
or complete.
Area Type
Area type of a place is calculated based on
population density, home ownership and proximity
to various amenities.
