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 would like to see a change in options for classes to take, along with prioritizing and providing balance amongst sports and academics

Wapsie Valley is a decent school. It is sports oriented, but the academics aren't that bad. Through high school, I had really good teachers, but also a few really, really bad ones.

I think if more non sports activities were available more kids would be able to connect with other kids with same interests.
