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.

Attending this school was an amazing experience, even though I had no choice because my parents wouldn't let me go anywhere else as they didn't want to have to drive me very far. All the teachers are very caring of the students and their mental health/well-being. With the smaller school size, it's really easy for students to make a genuine connection with the teachers. However, the teachers also make it known that they're not there to be your friend and that they're there to teach you.

I feel that my peers and I really connect with the faculty members, and I find myself enjoying the curriculum even in subjects that I don't excel at because of the teachers.

Very nice small school that is connected to the elementary and middle school. The teachers are very nice and a great community. The only thing I didn't like was how much some of the people don't include outsiders.
