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.

Needs to prepare students for college and independent living starting as a freshman in high school or maybe even sooner. Do like the small school environment that allows kids to get some help they need and also allow then to participate in sports easier and become involved in activities in a easier way.

As a small school, teachers are able to dedicate more time to individual students. Students are more engaged as a result. Sports seem to be a major priority and take priority over other programs such as music and art.

The teachers are very good and will stay late to help or make other accommodations when needed. Even though our school is small, we have a good variety of classes and are offered quite a few college credit courses. Overall, the other students are very supportive and fun to be around.
