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 needs help all around. You would think since it's a small town school that they would actually help the kids there but there are a lot of the so called teachers there who seriously need to be evaluated. They need to LEARN how to encourage their students instead of always giving up so easily. A teacher there told my son that he didn't care anymore and he gave up on him. That teacher should have been terminated! Our kids education matter and so does their future! A lot of the adults at this school need to get their certification snatched away quick!! I've also observed issues with race. It's just ridiculous! Another thing is the principal along with his staff need to keep their hands to themselves. Overall I know the town needs a school for the kids there but what's the point when they are not uplifting our kids and encouraging them that they can be and do whatever they want as long as they put their mind to it and don't give up hope! There is no such thing as " I CAN'T ".
