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.

There aren't many higher level classes to take because we have such a small population but I would have liked to take more classes that are diverse in subject. The teachers were all very nice people.

I like the school for the size it is. I don't like the idea of so many students in a class. For the academics aspect, I feel it needs some work. I dont feel it prepared a student academically. It gives too many students breaks with their grades and doesn't make them truly work for it. The sports are lacking as well. It is not done fairly. It is done by who your family is and how well liked they are by the families that have the money to throw around. There are many downfalls in this school, but I did enjoy going there because I had good friends that understood school is important.

The teachers here are just as interested in the drama as the students are, more than likely...
