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 environment was amazing. The teachers always wanted to help and there was little to no bullying. However, there was a lack of resources in the school but our teachers did their best to work around it to give us the best experience they could. The community was very involved with our little school and always helped with fundraisers.
