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.

Most of the teachers are very nice. They also have a good math program, I am in Algebra 2/Trig this year, and the teacher is very nice and helpful.

The special education department is garbage. I'm a junior at the high school in Johnston. I'm autistic. The general education teachers are amazing but E.O. I hate her.

My son was bullied daily and teachers, principal and guidance counselor’s looked the other way. Apparently being a single mom that worked as a nurse was viewed as trashy. Great midwestern values!

Horrible place, I came with a passion to try and make the best out of my middle school life, instead I got bullying, a horrible experience, and a realization that this school just ruined my entire life, never go here ever.
