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 Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

Good School, lacks in some opportunities larger schools have but is fine otherwise. Great teachers who engage with their students well. The selection of extracurricular activities is really the only downside. Our Choir, band, and sports teams are actually decent for their size and limitations, thanks to great teachers and coaches.

There are not a whole lot of elective options because we are such a small school. Most of the teachers are pretty good about workload, but some can be a little overboard with the homework.
