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'm not picky about food, so it was okay. I don't think I ever got sick from it. But I don't think it was the healthiest. There were a lot of days when I would feel very tired during the next class because of the food.

I was involved in Speech, FFA, and Theater. Other after school activities include sports and student councel. Commitment is different for each student. We were all very accepting of new members coming, no matter what their skill level.
