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 like how the teachers are personal and actually get to know you as a person. I also like how the class sizes are smaller so that you really get to know the students in your class. Also, by having the same teachers all four years of hisgh school allows them to get to know you and know how to help you when you need it.

I liked that the school was small and that the class sizes were small too. However, I would like changed that they would add sports or acedmic clubs. For example, a chess club or volleyball would each be a great aspects to add to the school.

As a recent graduate of this school, this school is great for education and relationships. The classes are small (1 class per grade) which is helpful towards getting 1-on-1 time with the teacher and also making friends throughout the years.
