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.

There are options for community college and AP courses, but not many. There are 2 fully online AP class options, and many courses from the local community college. They are more open to giving the opportunity of more AP courses to students that have already taken an AP course and did well. I do wish that we had more all week in-person college courses, however, I don't blame the school because we live in an area where most people don't go to college. It's not a very college bound school, but I've heard the CTE courses are good. We have had problems with bomb threats, but it was dealt with well. Vaping is bad here, as well. Our football team has the right energy, our cheer team matches the energy, and our marching band is always growing. The band is one big family :) The staff do their best and most are good at what they do. The lunch ladies are amazing and the food is decent for school food. There are not many clubs, but we have a few.

Teachers and faculty don't care about the students unless you're rich and fund the school. Only thing they care about there is football, last names, and how much money your parents can give. Had bomb threats almost daily.

This school does NOT prepare you for college, as it sure hasn't for me. You are fortunate to be placed in a class with a teacher who actually supports your educational goals. It's clear that some of the teachers here don't care about the students and want their paycheck. The school only cares about its public image and not of the general concern for its students. Please look at other county's if you care about your education.

The school is focused on hitting state guidelines, not getting the children to learn and retain the information and concepts. The apathy in some of the teachers is obvious. Other teachers are just trying to throw everything at the kids, hoping something might stick. The illiteracy rate at the school...
