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.

It's an alright school, if you are looking for just a high-school degree. But the school does not contain any advance stem courses other than a few AP math courses.

I like that it is a small school. The only bad part is that we don't have enough teachers to have a lot of classes that students want. They should try to hire more teachers to have more available classes.

The students here are nice the staff needs drastic improvement they don't respect boundaries of students there or half the time laws protecting them I have heard the principle use multiple slurs' behind the backs of students if your child is not country or athletic I do not recommend this school.

Generally small class sizes, rural setting, not sports heavy - actually a GOOD thing. Existing sports programs are good. The science program could be stronger, arts programs are excellent. My children had no problems being accepted for admission at numerous state and private universities.
