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.

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.

Very small school which I love. I know all of the teachers. The fron office knows me well and takes all of my needs into consideration. My school counselor listens to me and helps me, as a senior, with all of my graduation and college needs.
