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.

I just moved here because of foster care, and this school is so welcoming and made me feel welcomed and at home, the teachers are the sweetest and the students are so helpful and kind, I wouldn't pick any other school to be graduating from

It's a very good school but there are always a few bad apples in the bunch that are just a huge downside. Other than that it's a pretty average school.
4.0 Alum

Good school in a small town. The community itself isn't very diverse which naturally leads to the school in that community being the same. This school is very safe and has an above average clubs and organizations involvement. I felt very prepared for college coming out of this school and pursuing my four year degree.
