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.

Great staff! Teachers are encouraging and helpful. Wonderful coaches. Small school for big minds. Many clubs and sports to join.

I would never want to attend this school ever again nor would I want any of my family to go near it either. The grading scale is absolutely bizarre in its scale, the cliques absolutely let nobody in unless they are a farmer or love sports, and bullying is absolutely rampant in the school throughout all grades.

I would say for the area they were useful for preparing a student to better themselves for farming but none of that interested me so there were no real programs for people who didn't like sports or who loved farming.
