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.

this school is fairly good for students and it was ok for me. the thing that I liked the most was participating in school sports and the clubs. I had the opportunity to go places and do things with new people and It was amazing.

We have a robotics team, Science bowl, quiz bowl, drama club, SADD, oral in terp, FCA, and FBLA. we have a very small school so most of the students participate in at least one club. the most popular are FBLA and robotics. this is most likely because we do the best in these activates. the whole school supports these things and the students who do them.
