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.

My experience was good for the most part. I often found the school and opportunities it provided were not as opening as I was hoping. However, this has allowed me to branch out more in college. It also had my guidance counselor who was my biggest support when it came to giving me the support to branch out.

Its a good experience. The teachers are nice and pretty laid back on work being late. The worst part is that I've had bullying issue and they haven't stopped in 4 years. A bigger band program

Being from such a small community makes you feel at home all of the time. Everybody takes care of everybody, making the community stronger as a whole. I love being a Husker, because of these things but also because I know my teachers care about where I'm going in life. They want to see their students succeed, in some of their spare time they work on helping students progress in their futures. To be a Husker means to be a family.
