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.

I have had many ups and a few downs in my high school. One of the best parts of my school is the amazing staff we have. One of what I believe to be our downfalls and part of my worst experience is how we don't have very many opportunities presented to our region because we live in a rural area. I would like to see the opportunities for future generations given to them to help them better prepare for their future and life.

Best part of my experience would be the community. I thrive impressively and obviously. This came with downsides though as I am flooded with feelings of being a big fish in a small pond. I feel like this school doesn't provide needed instruction for many important life steps. Its obvious that this schools main intention is to exceed on paper rather than fully preparing their students for adulthood.
