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 always loved this school. All the facility members are easy to talk to and help you out in almost anyway you need it. I have been at this school ever since the beginning. I started in Pre-school and now in the middle of my senior year. My grades have been doing excellent and I am still having a lot of fun. The best time of the school year is homecoming week. You get to dress up each day of the week, and on that Friday, we have Spirit games. Spirit games are little games that student council and teachers put together for 9-12 to compete end. The grade with the highest score at the end wins the spirit stick. Although my grade never won the spirit stick, we all still had a blast and came closer together as a class. I had the chance to leave this school and go to another one for my senior year, but this school was where it all started and I want to finish it here. I have so many memories here and . I'll never want to give it up.

I believe at my school most teachers work hard to help their students excel in the classroom. Our math teacher is always available before school to help students with assignments. Our agriculture teacher is always willing to teach us life skills. Our physics teacher is always willing to help students out with physics problems.
