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 is a typical small town high school. Everyone knows everyone. Due to being a small school, classes are limited - there are not a lot of electives to choose from. It would be great if they could offer a larger variety of classes, even if it meant taking them online or at a college level.

I loved the small town atmosphere very much and it opened a lot of doors for me. The athletic programs are amazing and I really enjoyed being involved in those.
