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 environment is so positive and welcoming, it is a place where you know everyone and everyone knows you. It is perfect for a small town and is complete with a brand new performing arts center. The teachers are very helpful and are always willing to stay late to help you with anything you are struggling with.

My teachers have exceeded their paycheck when it comes time to investment time in their students. If it was not for my English, Journalism, and History teachers passion and care for their subject matters, I would not be the passionate student I am in regards to my future. I have to say that it is my teachers that propelled me in the confident young woman that I am today and hope to be in the future. I can make a difference and that truly is because of the love of my teachers.

Every School has room for improvement. It is no surprise that teachers are maxed out in all of their efforts. I do think that with school funding the way it is that my school is doing the very best with what they have.
