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.

It's a very small and tight-knit school. Because of this, we don't have much of a budget. Our bathrooms are usually dirty, there are few teachers/options for subjects or electives. However, the teachers we do have are very passionate about their job and clearly care for the student.

This school needs a lot more communication between the staff, teachers, and students. Most teachers are rude and don't care about their students, and there are no extra curricular activities throughout the school year to make it more tolerable and fun.

So far has been good in regards to the academics. My only critic is the building itself since the ventilation doesn't work
