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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

Firstly, I would like for the school to make good on their promises (ie. build kitchen for culinary class and pay for dual credit classes so that students may send their college transcripts to colleges). Also get real teacher, no offense to substitutes, so that students are better prepared for the next levels of their education.

My school is an awesome school where there's teachers that genuinely care about the students education. Not only that, the school is starting to add more varieties of clubs and organizations to expand more opportunities and interests for the students.

There are many teachers that will go out of there way for you to see you succeed. Their main goal is to see each and every child make something out of themselves, and excel in life.
I see the ratings on this school are old. Don't believe the positive ratings on this site. This is truely an awful school system just look at their test scores on the Mississippi education department website they speak for themselves. Too bad I can't give it 0 stars.
