Most elementary schools are good if you spend a little time there - be involved, volunteer if you can, get to know the staff. Unless there's a violence issue there or if your kiddo needs a special program, look more at the high school feeder pattern than the elementary ratings. See what class offerings or magnet programs they offer. Will your kids want to learn Russian or go into a medical/vet program? Or will they be happy with Spanish and yearbook?
What does "high school feeder pattern" mean?
What middle school and high school do the kids from that elementary school go to? Learn about those schools.
