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.

We live in a small town on the Columbia River. The class sizes are small, teachers know my name and I am unable to "fall through the cracks." I appreciate that every teacher is working for me and what I want to accomplish. They are supportive of all different types of learning styles and accommodate every individual need.

This School has a faculty that really does care about students, their learning, and their post High School plans.

Attended for nearly 4 years and loved all of my teachers, you can get help from them easily. Office staff is amazing as are the faculty in general. If someone has a hard time with anxiety, the classes generally smaller which helps. The food isn't nearly as good but the ladies work hard to make sure it tastes better when is it significantly despising. Overall good school and community, people always come back after moving or after college.
