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.

DONT SEND YOUR CHILD!! They will NOT protect them against bullying. Kids drew pictures of my kid killing themselves and my kid was the one who got suspended. I have called to report concerns for my kid and no one protected her or even returned my calls. It got so bad, my kid ended up in a mental hospital and we had no support for the schools involvement Literally any school is better then this one

Some may complain that they don't offer AP classes like most small sc...

The worse school district in the area- children with differences are told to find a different district and teachers become the bullies. Nothing is available at this school to help those who are different succeed- no remedial, no AP, no honors, and nothing to suit students with different interests.
