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 most of the teachers. The classes were not very challenging. I would like to see better lunches offered.

It's a small school and town, we all know each other and our parents all know each other. We are very supportive and proud of our athletics and our other school programs. We have very little problems at our school, but when we do it's usually some of the student's faults.

Our schedules here are based on what we would like to do. We pick our own schedules the only time it doesn't work is if two of the classes we want to take are at the same time, but we always find away to fit it in or just wait until next semester. The grading is the basic and normal grading scale. The teachers communicate very well with us if something isn't going to be graded or going to be graded for more and they give us opportunities for extra credit a lot. We are all required to have at least one study hall so that we have time to do our homework. A lot of students like taking history and English classes.
