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.

A small school that shares facilities with the neighboring high school. Great college readiness programs, decent academics, however, there is a very narrow range of courses offered.

I really wish they had more classes in this school because there aren't a lot of AP class opportunities to take so hopefully with this scholarship I can save money.

The best quality of the school is it being small so everyone gets along and everyone knows one another. The facilities are not the best but are the made the most out due to the size of our we school practices for cross country are either around the block or at hills in which we take vans. The schools has no field for soccer so we would use Overfelt's soccer field which is a bigger school right next to us. Due to us having to use it we ofent go in the mornings to avoid getting in conflict with their own football practices. For track and field we would use Overfelt's track as well. Due to our schools athletic director having a biased to soccer we wouldn't have the greatest of equipment like hurdles or even proper sport attire for cross country and track usually having to use the same jerseys which was a real pain for myself and my teammate's. The school may have its flaws but where it over achieves is in having such a close connection to students and teachers making it feel like a home.

This has been true since my first year here, when the entire English department resigned by the end of the Fall semester in response to micro-management from a new assistant...

As someone who used to work there, not only was the school not compliant with standards set by the district, they would falsify them by training the staff the day before scheduled visits. The students constantly complained because of new untrained teachers without credentials and a high turnover rat...

My time at this school has been nothing short of a nightmare, exacerbated by the school's myriad shortcomings. As a new student, joining late has only highlighted the glaring issues with this institution. The students' reluctance to interact has created an unwelcoming atmosphere that is suffocating...
