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.

It's very clique oriented but people aren't tied down to one group. Most of the teachers actually care about making sure you retain what they teach.

Fort Calhoun is a very small and secure school. Most teachers are amazing and have a knack for teaching teens. However, since the school is so small it is hard to break out of social norms or get away from bullies. The school in other words puts you in a cage together with some of the worst people. That isn't their fault that the school is full of bigots and homophobes that's just the life of a small town. Other than that I'd say my school experience here has been good. I have grown fond of the teaching staff and even the janitorial staff.
