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.

You get early opportunities to take dual credit college classes during your junior and senior year with them paying for one class. This helps with being a college student while also being a high school student. The teachers are nice and like to communicate with their students. A complaint I have about this school is that there are not a lot of clubs so it's had to choose with a limited variety.

I would love to write out a good recommendation as it was great during my time there. However, it has since went down. Rules are never enforced now, yet faculty is mad that students are creating chaos...

Our faculty is pretty reasonable when it comes to most things, our building is kept in decent condition, and the school is doing well for the community we are situated in. There are a few things that I would like to see change, a little bit wiser spending, more inclusion and opportunities within the school itself, things like that. We are just not set up in a great community, so that puts us a disadvantage from the beginning.

It's a decent School the teachers try their best to teach . there are some students that have more overbearing parents that like to create needless drama for no reason, outside of that it seems like you're typical Midwestern School! My 14 year old daughter is really enjoy going here!

They try to accommodate all needs and many of the staff do honestly care about the wellbeing of the students.

Do not enroll your children here. Kansas connections academy free online school is better. Drive to Winfield, Dexter, or Newkirk, OK. Social Studies & History department is atrocious—one teacher gave my children nightmares because she was so cruel. Business department is frightening. There is a revo...
