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 band and the colorguard. The teachers are good. The school is nice. It's good that all the students get to eat lunch free unlike other schools where they may have to pay. I get to take college classes to get college credits and be able to get my associates before graduating high school. I can't wait for graduation, the school makes a big deal about the graduates and makes them feel special.

Pros: Small community and has plenty of extra curricular activities to join. The school is very active in helping students get into college (even if it is just into a community college). Cons: This school has very few dedicated teachers (I can only recall 3 good teachers within my four years there)....
