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.

Small school, which is nice. But the administration is very lacking. Course offerings are lacking. Very little available technology. School lunches are mostly bad.

It wasn't a terrible school to go too. Very small, but in a small district. The staff was great to students and very helpful most times.

Bullying in and out of school is addressed and not allowed. There is even been times when problems with students on social media has been brought to the school's attention and taken care of. Dress code is enforced especially with the length of shorts. It is not fair for all students with their body types.
