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.

It's a small school, but you get more help from the teachers. I was able to ask the teachers for help more often that I used to when I was at a bigger school.

I have had a great experience because they have a good program and all of the teachers support the students. I am thankful for all the experiences and I'm a fan of our sports and clubs. I couldn't ask for a better school.
