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 Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

I love going to a small school like mine. It makes the whole experience so much more personal. I like being able to talk to anyone and everyone as they walk down the hallway. My favorite part about going to a small school is the elementary, junior high, and high school are all in one building. The little kids really look up to the high schoolers and create roll models out of us.

The school I attended was recently renovated. A lot of the classrooms have gotten new equipment along with other vital parts of the school (library, gymnasium, etc.). The school was extremely accommodating to help with college preparation as well as allowing students to dual enroll into classes at a nearby high school and take the bus.
