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 love that it was a small town and teachers got to personally connect with students. I am disappointed that our school didn't offer more academic opportunities. The focus was on sports than helping teens out with colleges. My graduating class and behind other graduating students going to college.

The school itself needs work. I mean what school doesn't. But, the teachers try hard to make sure the students get what they need if they try.

My school was always big on football, baseball, and tennis. Fooball was the hype of the school.
