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 high school is not like others. It is a small-town kinda place. The staff and students are kind but we get small funding. We have messed up water systems and certain parts of our school are not the nicest, but we just redid the floors in the five hallways we have. My graduating class will be less than 200 students compared to the schools around graduating with 1000.
