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.

We've done a lot with bullying prevention recently but the school nurse isn't always at the school during school hours. There also isn't any special security measures like a police officer on campus or cameras or anything. we do have a good fire alarm system and procedures in place for a lock down if anything were to happen.

Education is at a decent level, teachers care about students, most sports teams are pretty good, kids can be clique. Overall good school.

I chose college after graduation, but I was not as well prepared as I could have been. After a while, the teachers all slack off and the principal was never around to check on his employees. Everything was sheltered. They also did not help make any choices. We didn't have a guidance counselor so every decision was made outside of school with our guardians.
