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.

They could make students more prepared for college, our performance doesn't matter that much to our teachers, more just getting us through high school. I like that they care about the safety and sports have been a big thing for us this year.

Even though this is a small school, we are a very kind community and everyone knows each other. There is a lot of different people and foreign exchange students even come to this little part of the United States.

The new principal at this school has brought back disciple. Before him, students would consistently get away with their pranks. He has made it so that people at this school respect it more.
