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.

For the most part, the school doesn't seem to distribute enough funding to the classroom. Teachers are often left to teach from aged textbooks and with old resources.

some teachers are great, but because of the fact that we are a poor, rural district and the pay scale is very poor, we are constantly changing teachers and hiring what we can, which sometimes are not the best, they are many new, and older teachers who usually live in the area. We usually do not retain the best ones, who are usually offered more money somewhere else. This year we lost a superintendent, principal and many teachers.

Not much to choose from, here at all. There is one christian club, and one business club, an Academic team, and one community club.
