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.

Teachers show lots of favoritism but other than that it's great. The food is not the best. The counselor Mrs. Martin is great and very helpful!

This school is not a bad one. Small classes make for a great environment and the teachers that care make it even better. The athletics are climbing up the ladder with state championships in football this past season. GO REBS

The workload is typically manageable. There are quite a few online courses, but they are all college courses, so they are not available to every student. There needs to be a wider variety of courses available. Some teachers are terrible at grading assignments and entering grades in a timely manner, but others are excellent.
