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.

This school is great if you enjoy a small town feel. However, the community isn't extremely accepting. If you aren't the same as many other student you will most likely have issues. There has also been a history of poor teachers.

The teachers here truly care about their students. Everyone gets help so long as they ask for it. Even if you don't ask for it you can get it once in a while. They wouldn't ever tell a student no, unless a serious problem came up. Overall, it had the best teaching staff I've ever had the pleasure of being taught by.

My school is an average school. It has the basics that are needed in any school. Being a small school does help in certain areas such as you get a more personal feel to the classroom. Although, my school does not offer some classes that are AP (advanced placement) or college credit.
