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.

The best part of my school is the size the fact that we are a small school makes the learning more student focused. Although the school is in a small town so people can tend to be closed minded and conservative that is one of the downfalls of the district

As with most public schools in Ohio, they're broke. They're leaks everywhere and you can't walk through the hallways without water leaking on you. Some of the staff are really helpful and care about the students, but most do not, almost like they don't want to be there as much as you do.

I would say that overall this school is pretty average. It isn't great, but it isn't horrible either. A lot of things are good about it like education and the staff. When you have a question or need some help, the staff is happy to assist. This school also offers a handful of AP and CCP courses which help students who need classes that are slightly more difficult. The reason I do not give this school five stars is because of the many issues it has. The building itself is not very sound at times. When it rains the roof leaks a lot and sometimes caves in as it did a couple of years ago in the choir room. We also do not have a lot of money so we have to cut a lot of things. For example, we had to get rid of buses and fire all of our bus drivers last year because we simply couldn't afford it anymore.
