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.

I love my school. The culture is great and most of us care about each other. Some teachers are not worth the time it takes me to sit in their class everyday.

Good school! Very small and offers dual enrollment for juniors and seniors which is very effective in helping students get ahead in their college education while still in high school.

It's a very small school, but if you are interested in being around a place where everyone knows everyone then it's the school for you. The community is great, there is always things happening around town that pull everyone together. As far as changes go I would hope they get a remodel done it is a very small, very old school. The teachers are great and they k ow their students.

My four children were raised in Byron schools. You get the personal touch of a private school in a quiet community. All went to higher education and graduated with Master's degrees.
