  • Test scores measure one week in April. They say nothing about the art room, recess or whether your child will be happy. Tour the school.
  • Averages hide gaps. In 2026, students in special education here scored 6% in reading (32 tested), compared with 29% schoolwide. If that's your family, ask how the school will support your child.
