GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I liked that the homework was not too tough and that students could get through school without feeling like crying everyday from the homework. The school needs to talk to the teachers about favoritism towards students. Some teachers think it's cool to act like their students or to favor some over others, and they really make this noticeable.

My experience was fine. There could have been more diversity and more clubs other than sports. Also there should have been more college and career readiness involved.

A good school located in a small, safe town. It is your typical small town experience, including drama from all parties. The best part about attending the school is the faculty employed through the school.
