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.

I love this school because of the community behind it. Even though we were hit with mine subsidence and a tornado in the same year, we have worked hard to come together to make things right for our kids.

A great school district within a caring community of several towns that pull together when faced with a tragedy. This community, this school district will re-build a wonderful elementary school once again that we can all be proud of.

My son had gone to this school and now says that he hates the modulars because they are cold and the roof leaks and...'I just want my school back'.
