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 lack of support in the admin forces mass teacher losses at the end of each year which induces loss clubs and class like theatre, robotics, one act play, middle school Spanish, nutrition etc. So behind that there's not a Pom's dance squad or financial support in any of the art (s) curriculum. Fully focused on Football or whatever sport will get them any sort of publicity. The only career paths that are offered are few and far in-between.

Boyd High School, it's a very unique school in my own personal opinion. At Boyd it's still very small with less than one hundred people graduating from each class. My favorite part about going to Boyd had to be the teachers. Let me tell you, they are great. I could go go any teacher at any time for advice in life or even assistance on an assignment and they would hands down help or find me someone who could help. Another great thing about Boyd is the athletics program; although we didn't do too well in football the year we made it to state with our cross country mens team and our volleyball team made it to the area tournament. I could go on for days about why Boyd is so great but I don't have time for that. Above I listed my reasons for loving my school so much.

I feel like this high school is great. I observe students participating in different activities and the school seems to promote school spirit and storing academics together. The students seem happy and engaged. Many students graduate with college classes already done. It will be a great place for my...
