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.

We have a relatively small school. The way I think it stands out is in athletics. We have a very nice weight room as well as a football field, baseball field, multiple gyms for basketball and volleyball, and 9 tennis courts. The academics aren't really anything special; the teachers are ok.

I worked as a sub. teacher at the high school and I had to quit. There is no respect for the teachers. The students spend all their time talking on their phones and texting. If you ask them to quit they just ignore you. The administration is worthless and helpness.
