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.

Great small school with caring teachers and administrators. As all small schools here in the poorest part of the state, funding is an issue. This year the district has nearly 70 % free and reduced lunch counts. This is a great school community to raise a family in. Many graduates leave with up to 24 college credits upon graduation which is a huge head start for the future.

I will not recommend this school. I had gone to this school for 6 whole years and I hated it! The students are rude, disrespectful and very unwelcoming. I used to be an outsider, I had no friends. Because I was different, because I wasn't related to any of them. Oh, to what I experience, the school'...

As soon as you walk in the doors you have a safe, fun, relaxed etc. feeling. I know all the staff put 110% into their jobs. And thank you for that.
