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 Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

Small rural school where student athletes dominate. As a minority going to this school there is no a lot you could find in coming with the majority of the student population. Teachers are alright with no horrendous ones, but students will still complain. There are a few activities/clubs outside of sport and the arts but nothing big. Overall, I would not miss going to this school.
