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.

The school is small but everyone knows everyone. The teachers are amazing and very understanding. I wish there were more AP courses but there are a good amount of them taught. Internet is slow at some times due to location but good enough.

Our school has amazing teachers who try their hardest. Since it is such a small school it's very easy to stay in touch with your teachers. The administration of the school have attempted to make the place more secure but have failed miserably.

I like the staff, but I do not like the facility. We are in desperate need of new schools and money. I learned what I needed too, but others drop out freshman year. We need help.
