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.

I enjoyed the environment I was subject to in regards to school spirit with sports, and the friends that I made, but the inclusivity could have been more apparent. Additionally, certain administrators and teachers made the experience less enjoyable, and help with preparing us for college should have been increased.

Dress code is antiquated. Boys can have hair as long as they want, but can't put it in a ponytail? Girls can only 1 ear piercing and boys can't have any? Boys can't have facial hair, but facility can. Girls get in trouble if their hair that was dyed a natural color is now growing out so the administration deems it now unnatural, but nothing is said if it's a faculty member. It's been my observation that if you're in the popular group, they turn a blind eye to infractions, but if you fall into the not so popular group, you have a target on your back.

For a long time I thought I had a horrible time at high school because I started highschool as a freshman during covid but I quickly adjusted to the ways of high school made new friends and the best part is be part of the mighty bear marching band.

There are so many problems with this school. The coaches think they are God and do not care about the students. It does not matter if your vomiting, sick, or hurt. They make you continue running, lifting or doing whatever caused the problem in the first place. It does not matter if you have a medica...

Has its good and its bad. Small town scandals at an all time high. How is the athletic director still here? Especially through the constant issues in the athletic department. Would like to see him gone. He’s a bad seed.
