Douglas G. Grafflin was the top school in the district, ranking 20th in the state. 

Niche compiled data on elementary schools from all 50 states, Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico. That data was broken into four different metrics and assigned a letter grade:

  • Academics
  • Overall District Experience
  • Teacher Grade
  • Student Culture and Diversity

Grafflin had an "A+" grade in three of the four categories, but struggled with a grade of  "C+" in student culture and diversity.
