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.

the teachers were understanding and helped in whatever way they were able to!! although the students had very bad attitudes toward staff and other students !!

I like the music stuff, probably because I am in the band. Right now is confusing because of all the COVID 19 stuff so it is a little different. This is my first year in high school and it is crazy. I am pretty sure it would be easier without COVID 19.

It is a small town school that is only concerned with football and girls basketball. I had select few teachers that actually cared about each students'success and future. Most teachers socialized more than teaching, and assigned busy work.
