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.

Our school is very nice. It is inclusive and provides lots of different ways to branch out. We have sports, art, band, choir, FCCLA, FFA, FBLA, sources of strength, and much more. I love that there is so much to choose from.

Overall the school is pretty good. The only negative side is that the school primarily focuses on sports/physical activity rather than actual curriculum.

We have FCCLA, DECA, and FFA, where we have great success. There isn't after school activities besides sports. We have a wellness committee, as well as Student Council. No others organizations come to mind.

This is a save face school, unable to address its internal issues. Bullies are real and not addressed. Students who attack others are not addressed even with teachers seeing it.

The administration, school board and community care only about sports, not academics. Bullying is rampant towards anybody not conforming to the athletics-focused and narrow-minded blanket covering the community/school. The arts are of no importance. No real music program (no band, orchestra, choir)....
