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 study is decent the extra curriculum is insufficient. I particularly enjoy the medical classes taught by Mr. Chirhart. Great teacher and even better friend. He tries to build a great connection with all his students and he is unlikely to forgot one!

Love this school! It is the right size for my kids to be involved in as many activities as they have time for... Band, Theater, FFA, Athletics, Cheer. The staff knows the students and they really care about their students' success. Many AP classes and dual credit classes help prepare for college.
