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.

Our school has a little above average athletic facilitiy. We do offer a wide variety of sport related activities such as football, baseball, wrestling, kickball, and basketball. All of our sports prorams are paying programs. So unfortunately if the parents are unable to pay for the student, he is not allowed to participate. We do have an above average team school spirit. The spirit of these sports also enjoy a huge fan base from the community.
