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 think that my school is very good. The teachers are the best teachers in Missouri, I can tell that most of them care about me and my learning. I feel like I am getting a good education, but I don't feel super prepared for college. My school never really focused on scholarships until my senior year and they don't really discuss them unless you have gotten VERY good test scores. I think the facilities that we have right now are some of the best in my area, but I wish my school offered more clubs after school and not during it.

The amount of support for the students, whether that be through the teachers, peers, or through administration, is something to be well noted.

I think this school is great when it comes to the teachers who desire kids to learn, but those are far and few between. The AP classes are great, but we only offer a select few and don't give a wide range of other opportunities for kids to learn what they wish to do. There is little info about courses as well, and it is a struggle to find the classes that will be beneficial for yourself.

I cannot imagine a better high school experience for my children. Their teachers and classes are regularly a positive topic of conversation.
