I chose this rating because of the size of the school. I like that I know everyone and most everyone knows who I am. It makes it easy for teachers to know you also. How you are, what you like. I like the sports programs, too. I don't like how we don't have as many things to do as bigger schools. We don't have as many extra-curriculars

The extracurriculars aren't very good. The only things that students can really do after school are sports. There aren't art clubs or drama clubs or anything. So people who choose not to participate in after school sports don't really have much else to do.

We only have a couple clubs that are nonathletic such as Quiz Bowl, Friends of Rachel, and National Honor Society. Not many students are a part of these clubs, and they usually don't take place after school because of sports. They usually have time set aside during a class period or during lunch.

Good all-round, just not much for AP since it's so small.
