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.

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 is a very small mountain town school. It's average and there's a lot that could be improved. A good portion of the teachers are competent and Involved. There are several different quality clubs offered as well as sports.
