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 has been a good town to grow up in, but I feel like there could be more given to the students who want to surpass expectations. The curriculum is based more on majority than it is on ability of students.

The school spirit is great. Everyone gets into school activities such as prom, homecoming, games, etc.

I had a good time going to this school, I was an athlete so I was heavily involved in the sports and anything that had to do with them. Homecomings were always fun and eventful and the school was small enough that everyone could know or interact with everyone. The school has changed since I graduated and it seems less effective then I went there so I wouldn't go back to it today.
