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 level of disciplinary action needs to be much firmer. Kids need to be taught to not walk all over the teachers. They need to respect them and not think they're in charge. The education provided by this school is very good, but the students and environment isn't so good because other students feel like they may do whatever they please.

I realize that living in a small town that it is difficult to find teachers of the best quality, but my school seems to hire the worst teachers they can find. There are many that are good, but there are twice as many that have no business being a teacher. If I was to do it all over again, I would definitely go somewhere else, probably a bigger school where there are more class options and the teachers are of a better quality.
