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 best part of my experience was sports, I really enjoyed the athletics program, the school was very supportive of athletics, the only thing I would suggest to change is having school start a little bit later.

Has good selection in curriculum and allows for flexible classes. Teachers try hard and are understanding. Military community so kids come and go. Decent food. Funded by military so good options. The arts and music here isn't a joke they actually care and out in effort. isn't great with college readiness but good with workforce experience and getting you ready to work once you leave high school.

liked how it was very different from other schools and the portrayal of schools in movies and such. There is a lot of diversity in the school, but none are bullied because of it. In all, the school is very accepting of others and creates an environment of comfort. On the other hand, there are a lot of kids vaping, I'd like to see that change.

My rating of this school would be a 2/5. The Administrators are often held to lower moral standard than the student they discipline and some of the teachers are downright awful.

The school refuses to do anything to help our child. We have contacted our child's teacher and guidance counselor for extra support. This rural has very low standards for success and inadequate support for those seeking to help their children. Parent involvement in academics is strongly discouraged.
