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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

While some teachers don't make us do anything whatsoever, many of them keep us on our feet. I mean, it's not nearly as challenging or insightful as my dual credit classes, but, overall, they do a pretty good job. Every teacher is different.

The school is relatively safe. I've seen some questionable things such as sex offenders allowed to be at the school and there has been some drug problems in the past. It's otherwise pretty safe and not much goes on in a quiet town. As for the health programs, it's usually okay. There are several days a week in which the nurse is not around, and we don't have police. But we run through drills periodically. I

The school is relatively good once you find your niche. Almost all of the teachers are highly qualified and do their jobs very well. The school is very supportive of the UIL academics. In fact, they sent me to state for UIL Ready Writing last year. That includes hotel and eating costs. The school also has options for online college classes. I enjoy the small setting. However, I get frustrated by how the school seems biased towards particular beliefs. For example, many of the teachers have crosses in their rooms and the sports teams sometimes have scriptures on their sports shirts and ceremonial prayers before games. In addition, the entire elementary sings songs about God and Jesus for school functions during the Christmas holidays. I don't say anything, but I sometimes feel like they're violating the "seperation of church and state" law. Moreover, there aren't many options or support for extracurricular activities. Especially if sports aren't your thing. For example, the drama club pays for everything itself. That includes set, costume, and props. The school sends them to competition and that's about it. There used to be a stage, but a concession stand stands in it's place now. We used to have a poor art class, but we don't even have that anymore. There is no music, no art. Even our sports options aren't that great. Basketball, baseball, and golf. They say we don't have the money for it, yet somehow they were able to afford that brand new gym and the huge electronic sign outside. We also seem to be able to afford for everyone to have their own Ipads. For every classroom to have flatscreen televisions and smart projectors that nobody even uses. I think they have more money than they're letting on.
