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've been very involved throughout my time in high school. I've played volleyball, basketball, track, and softball. I've participated in scholars bowl, forensics, and cheer. I have also been apart of FFA, FCCLA, FBLA, NHS, and Student Council. I've tried many different things and I feel like I have learned so much from all of them. My school has about 50 kids in the entire high school and because of that I feel like I have more opportunities than other kids at bigger school would have.

This school may not have metal detectors, or policemen on duty, but it does have what is needed to keep us safe. It has the needed security cameras and everyone must sign in, this school does what is need to make sure that school goes on and does what it takes by running through drills of bad situation. I never feel unsafe at my school.

Were a small school so we don't have that many sports available. We have the main sports though. We have football, volleyball, basketball, track and field, and cheerleading. We have two good gyms with good seating in the bigger gym. A football field has a great setup but not turf or anything. Our track though is a dirt track. That is expected though at a small school.

These teachers are willing to push the kids into working at their best and then they leave the next year. We have lost some really great teachers. This school really needs to learn t...
