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 liked that they took getting your education very seriously. All of the teachers were there to help you learn and help prepare us for college and the world after High School. It was pretty hard at times but that's because they want us to be prepared and want us to learn and i love that.

There is not many extracurricular opportunities outside of the school. The students are mainly focused on grades and the sports that they are participating in and rarely have time to participate in extracurricular activities outside of school without interfering with sports practice or homework.

The school is very safe. Having security cameras, fences, and being such a small school makes the school safer than average. The health policy of the school is average, not letting children attend if they are sick so as to not spread the virus or "bug".

I attended this school from middle school until graduation. It is very athletics focused with few activities for academics. It is very close to a Christian school. The faculty is very narrow minded.
