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.

First of all the band is awesome!! Is the best band ever! Mr. Wallace is a great band director. I think this school is the best! It just needs to have a study hall and should wear regular clothes so the students can be happy without uniform!
