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.

The environment isn't a good environment. I just feel out of place because I am not like most people that go there. I would just like to see some more diversity. There isn't a whole lot of diversity at that school. Everyone is pretty much the same.

Thing I loved most about this school is that there is a very big sense of community at the school. They try their best to make everyone feel welcomed and cared for at the school. However, I wish there were more clubs and other opportunities that the school could offer. I wish there were more classes offered as well.

We are a pretty small school, so if something seems out of the ordinary, action is taken.
