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 really love the school community, but as far as teachers ability to teach in different ways, it is hard

The school itself is fanominal; you will not find a school more dedicated to the success of their students; however I wish some of the teachers would view their students as humans instead of machines. I mean, I guess the same could be said for any school.

I love the teachers and staff here! It's a small town with a small school so everyone knows everyone ..and their parents! Lol I'm a junior here and am preparing for college next fall and I feel like I'm getting a great head start with the courses offered!
