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 was really good, but looking back there was a large lack of resources available at my disposal. they really need to increase the resources that are given to kids for academics

It was overall pretty good. most teachers are nice and good teachers. But there are a few they should get rid of because they don't teach you anything.

It is a small community. In general the teachers are committed to giving the students a quality education that will prepare them for the next step in their life.
