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 are the best part about this school, the students however are either really good, or really bad. It is an average school, with great staff and mediocre sports programs.

Most of the teachers here are amazing and extremely helpful. I have learned so much the last four years, and I have had so much encouragement to be successful.

The amount of students is not too big (about 100 per grade) and the teachers really care to help you and see you succeed. It's a nice place to go to school! The sense of community is so amazing!

Every child I've had go through it has had problems. My sister also had problems with this school. This school needs to close and combine together with other schools.
