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 have attended Bluestem School Distract since Kindergarten. I met all of my friends there and have never left. Things aren't the greatest there though. A lot of people are close minded and difficult to get along with. I also wish that they offered AP classes.

My school is very involved. Since we are a small school we all know each other and have grown really close. The people that lead our clubs are very passionate about what they do. Our Student Council is very active. Our administrators encourage us to be the best we can be. We all work very hard in all of our extra curricular activities.
