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.

Definitely could have done a better job preparing students for college. Guidance counselors do not help that much either.

Hicks. Full of them. Infestation. Almost stepped on multiple cockroaches so that was fun. Also was barked at on multiple occasions so that was a highlight.

I like how the school was run and set up. Some of the teachers did pick favorites as most would expect. Absolutely loved the AG program, I wished more people went into that program and that it was more stated it is not just for people/students with an AG background.
